I think it needs a primary element. I'd try getting low on the near side of the 
larger boulder, dialing in a small aperture and shooting the boulder to right 
of center and include a bit of water on the left. Available texture would be 
important on the boulder.
It needs an anchor and that boulder would seem to be it.(?)

P.S.: Toss those few "too close" brown sticks that will appear to the near 
center of your shot.

the waterfall itself, from what i can see, seems unphotogenic, but i
like the abstractness of the pondscum/bubbles; i am looking on a small
screen so perhaps there is detail that would change my opinion, but my
instinct would be to look for angles that diminish the distraction of
the branches, reflections, etc. and make the most of the abstract
geometry and subtle shading
