A very nice photo. I'm no pro but my preference in these types of shots is
to try and make the image more balanced i.e where the large rock meets the
water , have the same distance to the top of the frame as to the bottom.
Sorry if I am not explaining myself, but I would have a little bit more sky.
However, great photo all the same.

Thanks. Interestingly, that is the way it was in the camera. The
cropping I described was partly to remove that balance. Seemed too
static to me. I decided the sky was bland (clear day with no clouds),
so concentrated on the water.

I toyed with the idea of putting some clouds in the sky (I have several
cloudy sky shots for just that purpose), but then decided that would
fight with the reflection in the water.
