Terrific shot Mathieu. There are a few areas that I would deal with if this were mine.
Here I dealt with the CA and sharpening halos by duplicating the entire land and tree area and moved it slightly upward covering them up, darkened up the other halo areas, applied a slight blue tint to the water, lightened up the darker areas using a weak dodge brush.
Thanks for this. Interesting strategy on the sharpening/CA halos. I went back and worked on them for a while but couldn't get rid of it. Didn't think about the capture sharpening, but didn't think I applied all that much... At anyrate this was a Contax G 28mm with a front filter mod on it. Generally great results, but the CA was strange and couldn't clean it up. I'll have to play with that strategy. Otherwise good points on the water as well, but personally I like the bright reflection on the water but see what you mean about a slurry...
First I would go back and reprocess the RAW file reducing sharpening, and dealing with the CA along the upper left mostly and along the edges which may have been caused by the sharpening. Secondly I would reduce or eliminate the cyan in the water and sky. Third thing would be to make the water a little more blue as the slow shutter speed has made it look like a muddy slurry instead of water IMHO.

Another version with a bit more brightness on the river, and then to give it more impact I stretched it horizontally. I also would suggest spending a little more and get this printed on metal which will add a lot more Wow to it, and the darkest areas will be brought out a lot better than canvas IMHO.Thanks for this.

Glad you decided to go through Zion!Love to hear any thoughts that needs touched up here before I print this on canvas. Thanks as always.

The mountains really look like that.
