This lake from Ladakh in India is quite the touristy spot. As is the case with any other touristy spot, you can go like just about a hundred meters away from where the tourists flock and bang...no tourists!
Thank you so much for viewing this post. I eagerly look forward to your C&C.

Photo has potential but is too dark. I like the idea of onshore waves crashing into the rock cairn. Try lightning up the darks.

I agree with Bauer here. I would focus my editing on enhancing and making that stack of rocks my subject. Personally, I would center the rock stack in the frame, bring out the shadows and details, and add a vignette. I think you make this photo interesting!

@BauerPower and @Brenton Biggs

Thank you so much for sharing your perspectives, folks. That's super kind of you for taking the time out and sharing your views.

I just looked up the issue and realised that my laptop's light sensor is fried. Here's the edited version after incorporating your suggestions.

I did fix the lighting in the image. Do let me know if it's ok now.
As for the composition, I felt that the color of the lake, the mountains and the cloudy sky deserve attention, and bringing the stack of rocks to the centre would essentially make you kind of ignore the action in the middle-ground and background. Having said that, I do realise that I could be wrong, so I'm posting a cropped version as well.

Do let me know which one would you prefer.

I think this image really has potential in post processing. You need to sharpen the rocks (to me it seems like focus is bit off!) and would try to play around with some vibrance and saturation. Currently the image is too flat. Just my opinion.
