This is a very pretty image with lovely colors. However, I find myself a little uncomfortable with the sky. If the sky had more interest and contrast from the clouds than I would think that you had the right amount of sky showing but as it is, which is somewhat plain, I would prefer to see you position the horizon line further upward to show more of the water and rocks in the foreground. You are hinting at something more interesting at the bottom and left edges and I am wanting to see more of that. A slightly faster shutter speed would have increased the sharpness which would have lead to more visual interest for me, like where the water is splashing up from the rock, yet, at the same time, maintaining some of the motion in the water. I get the impression from the blurrying on the rocks that a tripod was not used. I think it would I been very important to maintain the sharpness of the rocks while still showing the motion of the water. I think it is a pretty good photo and with just a few adjustments it could be made very good.

Pretty shot. Too easy of a subject to do really well. But pretty shot.

YOru composition is not bad here. You managed to pit the horizon on the top line. I assume the focal point is the Rock on the bottom left third intersection. There is a decent blur to the motion of the water. It is pleasent and not distracting. The only thing I would assume to have a problem with is the amount of light. Overall the shot is a decent shot.
