the texture in the rocks is nice. I wish the water was slightly lighter though, my eyes are pulled mostly to the rocks

The water seems unnaturally dark here. I can't help but wonder if this is how it looked in person or if this is a result of post processing. Since you have a definite and clean seperation between the rocks and the water, it would be easy to expose the two areas seperately and combine them here in advanced editing.

I love the texture and colors of the stone but this image just doesn't excite me. I'd like to see more of a contrast or more reflection in the water.

I love how you show the different textures in the water and the rocks.
