Zion gold
I hiked up the narrows three weeks ago. The water level was very low, mostly below the knees and rarely up to mid thigh. The river takes a bend after the dark walls on this photo, allowing the light to illuminate the wall in the distance.

Nice view! Seems a bit wee bit soft overall, though.

Peter, it might just be me, but looking at the water's surface from foreground to mid-ground gives me the feeling that the image is tilted slightly to the left. Nothing that can't be adjusted in PS.

I love the glow on the canyon wall.
Ditto on the comments above.

For my taste, I'd consider cropping a little of the bottom.

1) back off on the yellow sat on the wall.
2) oversharpen before sizing for web.
Looks like a pretty scene!
