The top half of the image is much stronger than the bottom. Can you share the technical info (SS, f-stop, ISO, focal length, etc) so we can help with the technical skills?

I may try to simplify the composition - this comp seems a little too busy for me. I really like the fall foliage and how the stream leads you through the scene, but at the same time the yellow foliage at the top seems to block my view of the nice color beyond. Overall, I think this is a nice shot though. I would like to see the shooting/technical data as well.
Drop camera hight down (just a bit) to lower your perspective looking upstream.
Use polarizer ...which will sofen things up a little (water) and really bring the color out (Foilage).
I agree with Hardy about simplicity...
Nice shot and a start to greater shots.

A polarizer is a must. I also agree about dropping the camera level a bit. That would let us see that middle set of cascades. The low water levels don't help your composition. I think your off to a good start though.
