for composition, a little higher & direct the lens more down towards the rocks, the frame is split in two, try using the rule of thirds (google it), try shooting it later in the day, 1/2 hour before sunset, get amazing results.

no worries, make sure you have a tripod for late evening shots, dont want any camera shake. use a f number around f8-16, and focus about one third of the way into the frame, check your shot to see if everything is it focus.
