I think this would be better as a horizontal image.

I am just not a fan of diagonal composition where water is involved unless the action of (or on) the water in the subject i.e. a surfer or crashing waves against rocks. Also, your rotation puts the water going up an incline -it just doesn't happen in nature.

Nice job with the flowing water, but the diagonal seems forced, doesn't really add to the picture.

This is a gorgeous shot as far as colors and water goes, but creating a diagonal by tilting the camera or rotating seems artificial. The funny thing is that if the image were straight, the water would probably run down on a strong diagonal from left to down right.
