I went through a similar feeling when I did that image of the water pouring out of the building window ages ago - the idea was ok and the actaul work I did on it was ok, but it just didn't gel as it should - it turned out to be a very simple technical aspet that completed it and made it look good, and I think there may be a similar thing going on here. The idea and work is great, but the technical thing (imo) is the light - that dark patch vertically down the water, if the sun was in that position would it be there? I think the sun's reflection may come over more to the left and lighten it up a bit..... also, the rock in the bottom centre would be subject to the same light as the rock on the right and the hills on the left, and shouldn't really be shiny like they are, should they? With both of these items being virtually in a vertical line to each other, my mind seems to be trying to 'split' the picture into two. I may be wrong (God knows, wouldn't be the first time) but that's where I feel it could be happening. Apart from that, great concept and visualisation. As per usual. (Hey, view this on a N*kia phone - the screen will stop working properly in about 3 weeks and you won't have to bother making ANY changes...lol!!!) (",)
