I don't think it is really that strong of an image. Be it composition or just too busy.
Some areas are really hard to work and get that great shot. There is potential there.
I would try different times of day to get different lighting as what is there is pretty flat (as we see it is over cast). Often shadows or light and dark areas will add interest to the image.
Perhaps even try a shot from lower and closer to the water.

Keep in mind that a circular polarizer filter can remove reflection from the water if there is any interest in the rocks below the water.

I tend to agree with Micro 5797, here. As it stands, there's not too much interest. It seems like you were on a bridge, saw a creek and took a snapshot. There are a lot of things you could potentially do with this image. For example, I like the reflections of the trees in the back there, maybe you could draw some focus in there with a tighter shot? I would like a wider angle shot right up on the surface of the water (you'd have to be right in it!). Maybe you could shoot into the water with a polarizer to cut through the reflections and get a nice shot of the rocks below with a leaf floating on the crystal water. Or a long exposure along one of those logs to show the leaves dancing in the water.
