Very good leading lines take my eyes right to the lovely stone bridge, with arch. Hope you had a chance to explore the scene closer to the bridge.

Lots of glorious, colorful light out there. It's a high contrast scene, but I enjoy the silhouettes vs. the lighted area. Our cameras really don't know how to treat some transitions, leaving a few artifacts. You may have a chromatic aberration on the ridge top. Or, the post processing may have done this. It's not uncommon in bright/dark scenes like this.

The eyes are hypnotizing.

I like the different types of clouds at verious layers of the atmosphere. Always a photo when the crepuscular rays flow. Birds are almost always a distraction. A bird fly through almost always wrecks the shot. Your birds are hardly noticable. I do think you've chosen a very difficult angle to the sun. That said, I truly enjoyed viewing the elements of interest n this scene.

Lots of bent light here. Good eye to see this reflection and amazing abstraction.

I visited Niagara Falls 50 years ago. I'll have to get back one day. I really like the natural daytime look (even with all the people) as compared to all those colored lights at night. I really like your monochrome conversion and the toning is just right.

Good tones and crepuscular rays. I like your horizon placement, too.
