Nice lively picture. For my taste If you have intensified the color of the rust, it is a bit too much. Looks artificial. I like the composition and the movement of the water.
The splashing or falling water makes the image very busy --- perhaps a very high shutter speed with a strong flash would stop the action, making a sharper image?

I really like the colours and movement within this image. The right hand pole is a little out of focus to me, but I don't think this detracts from the whole feeling of movement in the picture. Very nice.
This is an excellent image! The movement of the water creates the interaction with the rusty columns to make this a truly exciting photograph. Good luck. 9
