Great color, and lots of nice texture. The bright light wasn't doing you any favors, and that sliver of blue sky on the top left is somewhat distracting. This is a place I've not been, but would love to see someday.

I like what you are doing with the composition - specifically the way that you have used the contrasting yellows and oranges as a focal point in the composition. I could see adding some mid-tone contrast to this image using Tony Kuyper's luminosity masks. The background does seem a bit soft.
