Default Winter in Zion N.P

I took this shot in Zion National Park on New Years Day. I liked the color in the cliffs, but was wandering if the empty space to the left takes away from the photo? Comments would surely be appreciated.

I like the space it draws you to the rocks.

I agree with kirbinster and shep. The negative space and colors go well together.

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Thanks for all the feedback. I am finding landscape photography to be most difficult. I sure learn a lot from all the posts on this site. Thanks

I have one more question on this photo. I used Flckr to edit this shot and clicked on the I'm feeling lucky tab. That was the only post adjustment made and was wandering what that feature does exactly (the i'm feeling lucky tab)? It seemed to really help on this shot.
Thanks.
