In trying improve my own photography in this style I am looking at them very closely, as this stands it is a lovely image with a great sense of movement, but, I feel that the top half is unconnected, perhaps crop to square from the bottom and I have no idea if it would have been possible but a move to the left, so that only flowing water and rocks are in view?
I agree with Phil about only including water and rocks - the bank doesn't seem to add much to it. Maybe try and find some other fg rocks to form some sort of lead-in line???
Obviously just my thoughts, so feel free to ignore them!!!
Nice attempt but this is still lacking something. The light is nice but there is nothing to join the foreground and background together. The easiest way to do this is probably by using the stream itself as a lead line - position the stream so it doesn’t go out of the picture but deep into the picture space. If you concentrate more on the rocks themselves perhaps go for a higher vantage point isolating the rock with water flowing round it. Composition is a huge part of landscape photography - think abstract and make sure all the elements balance. Also try looking at how others deal with streams - I often check out Marc Adamus who I find is an endless source of inspiration: http://wildphoto.smugmug.com/gallery/856146#83743399

Am I making sense?
