Lion's face with a long beard - Minor White's Wall

How can I improve this photo? All CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcome. Note: I place a watermark in my photos to protect my intellectual property. This is intentional.

 

Minor White was a contemporary of Ansel Adams. In addition to being a photographer in his own right, he also taught photography lessons. Some of these lessons would take place at what is now known as "Minor White's Wall", located in the Shore Acres State Park, where he encouraged his students to concentrate on their abilities to visualize and create abstract photos..

 

I'm not sure what I see in this photo. I was attracted to the predominantly vertical features that gradually bend to the left toward the bottom of the photo. It was the organic nature of that curve that I found interesting.

 

Feel free to leave suggestions about what YOU see in this photo. The concept I like the best will be used to rename this photo.

 

======================================

Update:

I have decided what I see in this subject. It reminds me of a Portuguese man o' war, which resembles a jellyfish. These animals float on the surface of the ocean and have long tentacles that trail below and behind them, which they use ti catch their food..

=======================================

Update part deux:

I have since decided that this rock structure most resembles a lion's face which has a long beard.
