This shot is a nice one with a well constructed composition. But with a little more attetion to details it can be made better. The highlighted parts where the sun shines is distracting, takin long exposures in sunlight is diffucult. An overcast day or late in the aftenoon is usually better for these kind of shots.
The foreground leaves ar out of focus due to lack of DOF. Focusing closer to the foreground, about 1/3 into the picture would have created deeper DOF.

good job with the nice water flow, it is kind of neat how it looks like there are sparklers in the water. imo the whole picture is a little out of focus though.

Harsh overhead light hurts this shot because of the blown out reflections on the leaves. The long exposure, however, makes the water come out nice and silky.
