This is such a wonderful capture. I like it a lot. I only gave it a 7 but wanted to rate it much higher. The reason I did not is because by just applying autocontrast in PS it was improved greatly and by applying an additional simple red color adjustment it made it even more spectacular. Perhaps you are a believer that the camera captures the scene as "it really was" and therfore do no want to make post processing adjustments. If so, you will come back to this one later and fix it after you realize that what a camera captures pales in comparison to what the human eye can see. Kudos to you for a super capture.
