Love this Geof.Great combination of colours and textures. The composition with the horseshoe curve of the rocks works brilliantly - for me that shape somehow seems to hold it all together in place of there being a single focal point. And whatever PP you've applied seems to have given it a sort of luminance almost like a watercolour.
I can see the point about the dark patch at the top, but it really doesn't bother me at all. Personally I think you'd lose some of the charm of the image by cropping the top and losing the horseshoe shape of the rocks.

Like it Geof, agree with SarahLee on the luminance and how that's given the image a hand-crafted quality. The light and tones are great and you've judged the amount of water motion just right. Think the crop suggestion is unnecessary, there's other dark areas within the comp which might become more dominant/ distracting in that event.
