Anyway, on to your photo. A very, very lovely long exposure. I love how the water travels from one side of the photo down to the other. It's a very nice composition.
Also, the timing is lovely. You picked a perfect time of day; the shadows on the rocks give a lot more texture to the photo and it makes it more interesting to look at.
The only problem you're having here is some over-exposure in your water. You really only have it in one spot, but the issue is that it unintentionally creates a focal point that isn't really desired. Also, we lose the detail in the water, which breaks the flow you've thus achieved.
I understand that it's difficult to get long-exposures of water to always exposure correctly, and any area that's brightly lit is going to be blown out. Your exposure is fairly short, only a half second, and I see you're at probably your smallest aperture and your lowest ISO. What I would suggest is investing in a neutral density filter or two. All these are pieces of grey tinted glass that screw into your lens. You can buy them in one-stop, two-stop and four-stop variations. They're really helpful for avoiding over-exposure and allowing you to get long exposures in full sunlight without having to worry about the photo being overexposed. Both Hoya and Tiffen make great filters.
