Nice composition... It looks as if there were some water droplets on your lens, but maybe that's my machine. Did you use a polarizer? I'm guessing not, as the sky looks a bit over-exposed. A polarizer will, in most instances, block some of the sunlight and make the sky look bluer, as well as take some of the glare off the water. It also tends to saturate the colors. I don't know if they make such lenses for your camera, but if you have PS, you can do some saturating in that. It looks like a beautiful place, though. :) You obviously followed the rule of thirds, which is very good. :)

Finished Photo
I Cloned some of the picture to get rid of the droplets on the Lens - and then I increased the Saturation of the Blue and Yellow to give it a more clearer look

Please Tell me what one you prefer and ways to improve them

I would agree with the comments made by Lori, a polarizer is a must with shots around water, it helps reduce the reflections and improves the saturation throughout the picture.
Whilst the second one is much better there is no substitute for a good exposure in the first instance. Nicely composed,would recommend using a tripod and smaller aperature to really sharpen up the foreground rocks and the picture overall. if you have chance to reshoot in the future you will see the difference yourself,
Thanks for postin David,
Paul.

My new Camera can accept polarizer filter - all i need to do is buy the Conversion Lens Adapter Mount which can accept a couple of Conversion Lens and Filters
So wish me luck and I try to shoot some better shots and post them
Thankyou
