Hi and welcome to the forum! 

The colors are great. I'm torn about the composition. I like it but think I'd like it more if it were possible to shoot only the water, or just a tad of foreground. The combination of the amazing cloudscape and absolutely calm water is an impressionistic delight by itself.

Welcome on the forum,
I'm with Justan for the dramatic clouds and sky colors... fantastic. Initially, I was not so convinced by the composition but the foreground breaks the symmetry of the image, so I wouldn't remove it (via cropping or cloning).

anyone notice the puppy face in the right hand cloud ?

i like the anchor of the rocks in this one.

Thanks folks for the welcome and comments.
The reason I chose this composition is to use the forground rocks as an anchor as stated. I do agree that maybe removing them would be an acceptable composition, but I personally feel the forground gives a bit of bottom framing to the water and reflection so it dosent look as if the water is running off the frame.
Thanks again for the kind welcome and comments.   
Always look forward to learning
Fred.
