Gorgeous photo. I love the colors and you have captured the silky water perfectly.
I think the emphasis could have been a little more on the sky, at least to the point that it takes up half of the picture as well.

What a difference a few steps can make . I recognised the spot by the formation in the background. It'll be a competition between the both of you because this one gets a *10* as well.

good job with the water, getting just enough texture into it. I would have liked a cleaner composition i.e. with out the rock middle right, also because they are considerably darker (and water).
