There are some small speckles on top of the water…I took out the most distracting ones but there are so many. Are they a distraction? All other composition or editing feedback is welcome.
Pertinent technical details or techniques:

Very interesting colors and elements in your image. Lets the viewer examine and enjoy each texture in the rocks and twists in the path of the river. Nicely seen and presented.
This is very nice Becky. While I love seeing gorges, I always seem to have a hard time coming away with great images of them. But you have managed to create a very compelling composition that is nicely balanced, and really does a good job of showcasing this interesting location. And here is another vote that the specks on the water are not a distraction.
My only suggestion would be to darken the left 1/3 of the image to better balance the luminosity. I would not go too far in this regard, you would still want to convey the sense that light is hitting the left wall of the gorge.
Thank you for the kind words and suggestion - I will give that a try. I was wondering about that bright section but didn’t play around with it.
I think part of the success of this image was having a great small scene within a beautiful landscape. I have other wide angle images at this location that I don’t love quite as much.
