This a view from the top of Noccalula Falls in Gadsden, Alabama. You get a little idea of how high up it is with the people and the ducks near the water.
The reason I make mention of it is that your exposure is lil' off.
Overexposed, that is and in short.
So.. to give you an idea of what playing around with the settings/technique contained in the linked tutorial can accomplish.. downloaded your image here and gave it a go myself.
There was sufficient photographic data overall that via the technique/adjustments.. the overexposure was tamed for the most part. Save that of the larger white'ish rock in the right-hand side. Although, on this note.. sunny day.. one could expect this naturally and to a degree.
Again, just some creative/editing food for thought.
Frank, I really like this image, the people give it a super perspective, if you gave it some darkening by level adjustment, or perhaps using a program like topaz lens effect you would have brought out the beauty of this shot even more, in my humble opinion, it is a bit overexposed, but what a beautiful spot.

Leads your viewer's eyes right to the couple.
Caveats?
