Otherworldly. Definitely check the original image. It's in the portrait format, and it's crazy good. I had to crop it to landscape for the wallpaper, so I did the best I could.

I got rid of some of the rocks on the right for a better composition, enhanced the colors and the contrast, and got rid of the excess bloom.

But it's also an amazing composition. Enjoy the subtle waves in the foreground.

I removed some people and a pretty bad halos above the rocks.

I like the way the sun reveals the shape of the chasm. The colors are also nice - green and yellow work well together.

Nothing was needed here except a little sharpening.
