    I like the composition, You might desaturate the colors just slightly. I like the detail to it.

    slide the levels a bit left, to bring out some more detail in the shadows, and I'll like it very much!

    Yeah, a bit contrasty. The angle is peculiar - I find my head tilted to the right as I'm viewing this.

    I like the color, very awakening. However, I think the lack of any in the upper part of the photo makes for a little too much contrast (as others have noted). I could also be a little sharper. What was the lighting? Seems a bit too intense, the rock edges facing to the right are over-exposed in comparison to the other sides. I would adjust in PP. The colors are so strong, it seems like a fishtank!

    If you are planning to shoot it again, try to get light into the dark areas....reflector, off camera fill flash etc. while avoiding washing out any areas of the stones. Desaturating is never a solution unless the image has been over-saturated in post-processing.
