Hey Kristbjörg,
I understand being frustrated by low scores and not enough comments to help you improve, so I'll try to help here. My first impression is that the image is very busy for they eye. There is so much to look at and my eye doesn't find a single obvious point of focus. I think the overall even lighting works well for this type of shot since bright sunlight would create harsh shadows and make the image very contrasty. I'm not absolutely positive, but I'm wondering if the white balance may be off just a little bit in this shot. I see the water is quite blue, and my guess is that white balance was adjusted for a sunny day, and it was maybe cloudy during this shot, so the camera compensated with too much blue (to offset the yellow cast of a sunny day).
I think that having the stream run along the diagonal is a good position for it. I notice the shutter speed is not fast enough to stop the water, but not long enough to softly blur the stream either. I think that stopping the water with a fast shutter speed would just add to the busy feel of the shot. If you stopped down to f/22 or higher and got a shutter speed of 2 seconds or so it would look really cool.
I hope this helps :)
-Daniel

| It's a little bit too noisy for me, but strange colors make this photo attractive though |

| It is really hard to tell what your subject is here and where exactly the failure is. It looks like your shutter speed was low and the shot was handheld, giving the entire photograph some blur. I do like the flowing composition, but I can't isolate the failure. |

| Very nice composition, but I feel the focus could have been just a little bit sharper. |
