Well yeah, something so that the eye isn't immediately drawn to the magnificent rock face that is not in the picture.

Yeah I'm not an expert but I feel like there's a little too much of the water in the foreground, and some wasted space where the clearing on the right is.

It is beautiful but I don't know if - maybe I feel like - it's just because that entire area is just naturally magnificent. My eyes sort of have a hard time finding a resting spot, and after being led down the stream, once the water curves out of view I feel like I'm zigzagging through the image, finally sort of settling on the rockface - not because I was led there or because it's what I find interesting but because my eyes need to rest, and my brain finds it to be a sort of neutral zone.

I'm not a photographer or artist, I mean I like to draw and paint and though I don't post, like, anything, I know I don't have a knack for real art so yes I'm talking out my arse, while kind of just trying to articulate my thoughts other than the obvious "nature is beautiful". That is true but I wish I were an artist and really wish I had the eyes for photography, so I could offer OP more than my hairbrained (at best, hypocritical at worst) attempt at constructively debriefing my experience viewing their work.

...nature is beautiful.
