Greetings from the Critique Club
This is a location that I have seen a few times on DPC, definitely somewhere I would like to see for myself.
I think your image scored reasonably well for a best of challenge, but could probably have scored higher. I liked the image and gave it a decent score, 7.
Nothing wrong technically with the image, apart from, and this is just my opinion, the white balance. I realise this was a creative decision to boost the blues, but to me it feels quite strange and doesn't work. I'd love to see it reprocessed with a warmer WB setting.
As far as composition goes, I can't decide whether I would prefer a wider angle to see more of the surrounding scenery, putting the rocks more in context, or if I would prefer an even tighter crop. I know a few of the commenters stated they would like to see the foreground rocks somehow framing the picture more. I certainly would like to see the whole reflection of the background rocks. I have to say, I have no idea if that was feasible or not at that location.
As I said, i scored this quite high.

| Looks like something out of another world. The textures and colors are as mysterious as they are beautiful. |

| The blue in this photo is so bright and I love the brown in the rocks - one of my favorite color combos (blue and brown)! |

| When I first looked at this I thought it was fairly interesting. Then I read your title and took a second look and took more interest in the reflections. Once I did I realised I would like it more if you could see the full reflection of the background rocks without the foreground ones cutting them off! |

| Almost looks other-worldly. I like it, but it lacks a point of interest, such as a creature on the rocks, imo. |

| Always curious about this place. Not sure if darker rocks in front builds this scene or breaks down whats behind. The really beautifull reflection at back is what I really want to see |

| Love the colors but just wish that crop were a bit different to get rid of the tiny rock on the right frame. |

| That is such a strange place. You've really captured the strange feel with beauty. Wonderful colors and reflections. |

| I'd crop the bottom third so that the foreground rocks become a frame, rather than a distraction, for the main, sunlit rocks. Then crop a third of the right side of what's left to give more depth and balance. It then needs a touch of sharpening. - Just a suggestion - good luck. |
