Munecito, this is a shame about the overexposure when you have made your way to this location. Any chance you can go back or are you not near?
If you want the 'brutally honest' opinion I think the water is simply too blown out to make this shot work. You have lost a lot of detail in the water because of this and the high contrast of the very white (blown out) water overpowers the image.
This does look like a high contrast scene in the first place which is very difficult to control and HDR could have been the way to go had you gotten the exposures you wanted. The alternative is to shoot this in overcast weather.
In terms of composition I think you have done a fine job. The water flows nicely from top left to bottom right creating a nice dynamic diagonal through the frame.
The other thing is time constraint. It's dificult to get everything right (and to be creative) if you're pressed for time (as I'm sure you'd agree). I find scenes like this much better to shoot when you're on your own and in no hurry at all, so you can try various things.
All the best,
Thomas
