If its "barely a fall" then surface tension should make it stick to the rocks beneath...
Either that or it should come away a bit before curving sharply down.
Honestly, though I've never seen a stream come away from its..."perch" like that without continuously curving downward to a steeper, if not 90 degree, angle. Your water seems like it's just...unaffected by earthly gravity.
As Eck's edit also fixes, the streams continuation should be just beneath the waterfalls' start anyway. Yours looks like it's offset upwards.

Hmmm... I dont think youre quite getting what im trying to capture, I told you when it's done you will get whats going on in the scene.
And how ironic, i was working on rock almost exactly like yours. :lol:

I think it'd be best to get the general shapes (that Alex mentioned above) down first and then add all the textures and details..

Use ecks color pallete. Its alot better, when you use darker colors try to use cooler colors, and when you using a lighter color, go to war ones.

Bump_Date:

How does the water look should it be textured different, I've never done a scene like this. I also split the water a little bit with rocks.

This kind of texture is an option:

This is just a rough sketch, you can make it better.
I'm not sure about how to draw the water on the rocks..
