This on the whole is a beautiful work. The composition is strong and works very well with the subject matter. The long shutter speed has created a very interesting texture on the water and a lovely play of textures as the rock rises from it.
There are just a few things I think that could improve this already strong image. There one thing that slightly bothers me about it is the edge of the rock in centre, especially around the top left of it, it looks over sharpened. I just find it fights for my eyes attention a little too much.
I think that the sky has a perfect exposure for this image, there are no blown highlights or clipped shadows, you have kept the colour vibrant but natural, which I applaud you for. However I feel that the rocks and water could do with some extra exposure, not much but enough to brighten them up to draw the viewers eye to them. I think this will emphasise the long exposure and texture of the water and increasing exposure / brightness by perhaps a stop will bring more dimension to the image.
Overall its a wonderful image, perhaps the few tweaks are more to my personal taste compared to how you took the shot , but regardless I'd love to see more like this.
