96 - Titan - Largest Moon of Saturn
Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1, 4 & 15 sec at f/13.0, Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere and the only object other than Earth for which clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found. Titan is the sixth ellipsoidal moon from Saturn. Frequently described as a planet-like moon, Titan has a diameter roughly 50% larger than Earth's moon and is 80% more massive. It is the 2nd largest moon in the Solar System, after Jupiter's moon Ganymede, and it is larger by volume than the smallest planet, Mercury, although only half as massive. Titan was the first known moon of Saturn, discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. Titan is primarily composed of water ice and rocky material. Much as with Venus until the Space Age, the dense, opaque atmosphere prevented understanding of Titan's surface until new information accumulated with the arrival of the Cassini-Huygens mission in 2004, in...

You may not know it, but this is one of those over-photographed places in the park. Yours differs nicely from the previous work I've seen in that you have beautiful warm directional light. Other photos I've seen (including shots of my own) are taken right after sunset when everything but the sky and river is dark.
I really like the directional light hitting the walls of the Hot Springs Canyon (upper right). I think you could bump up the brightness a tad and also the contrast here. It rhymes well with the Cottonwood trees just below it.
The Chisos and sky look dull and don't match well with the rest of the scene. I think if you increased the contrast a bit, that might help. Or perhaps you could try black and white - that would eliminate color issues.
Anyway, really great scene. I love it!
