I recognize this as Yosemite's Horsetail Fall lit at sunset from other photos and know that this only occurs in February, but if I didn't, and only gave this a quick glance I might not find this image as interesting. It took me time to appreciate it.
I would have liked to had seen a different angle, but with the orange/yellow tones where they are, it makes me want to walk around to see what is in the crevice. It adds that spark of interest. Great shot
I think you needed a better angle too capture more of the fire fall dont know if you could of done that good try i think you could have worked on it a bit more in the processing part too make it POP more kind of flat looking at it
