I like the perspective here very much. It's a bit like your previous image. The light on the rockweed is very gentle which shows off the texture nicely. It's a fairly unique composition in that moving water shot with slow SS is gradually merged with standing water. I would think that transition may be tricky.

When I saw the title, I thought it was going to be a political image.  This is real nice. I find the lower right area a bit heavy, but no crops come to mind and as said, just a bit (not a image breaker at all). Real nice depth, flow and color. I like this!

Harley - Agreed a bit heavy on the lower right. Not much I could do regarding my position to minimize it a bit, unless I crop to more of a 4 x 5 format and loose some of the big rock as well on the right.

Harry,
Ha, Ha! Draining the swamp - and quite literally. Agree the LR is a bit dominant, but also agree with Igor about the soft light - and so on balance I think there isn't much to change here to improve anything. In fact, one of the appealing things about this image is the "v" that is created. A lead-in for sure, but not a line or a curve, but the eye most certainly is getting drawn in to the scene and it works beautifully.
Subtle, but I'm really enjoying how the colors are being picked up in the water at the very bottom where the flow enters the frame. Oh, and great job doing a little diverting of the water. I've been known to splash water on dry rocks, but can't say I've ever diverted water flow. I'll have to keep that in the back pocket. ;-)
The large view really opens up with nice depth as well. No nits or suggestions. Beautifully done.
Lon

There is a lot going on in your image, and what is most interesting to me is the transition of flow from the dynamic foreground cascade to the quiet open sea in the depth. The details of the plants that are just hit by the first sunrays add a lot in my opinion.
Looking at this scene makes me wonder how it looked like a few moments before sunrise - totally different of course, but maybe amazing too.

I love the dynamic foreground water flow as it contrasts with the relatively calm water beyond the rocks and the very serene look and feel of the clouds and setting sun. Beautiful image.

Peter - Had there been more clouds above me, some of the cloud color might have reflected to the water areas, but not much interest in those areas. I needed the diffused color after the sun had risen to create the colorful water and wet rock highlights.
