I do like a bit of alliteration! Loch an Eilein, outlet burn, about an hour before sunset. This is such a heavily photographed area so having dragged my kids around the loch looking for new PoVs, we got nearly full circle before finding this location. I think the main rock in the burn could do with being moved to a less central position but despite what Dave (whiterose1) thinks, I don't move foreground stones! 
The view is hemmed in by shrubbery on either side of the frame and the bridge spars through which this was shot so comp options were a bit limited (plus we were already late home!). I did try a photoshop change in rock position but my skills are not equal to the task.
I lost my lens cap during this shot in all my haste, it's probably a long way downstream by now!

Aliteration goes down well with me too, Alan: and what I like about this shot is the contrast between the darkness and turbulence in the f/g with the calm sunny beyond, as you say nicely framed by the darker foliage.
The big rock centrally placed looks OK to me as there is flow on either side on the diagonal.
Nice one.
Ronnie.
Fantastic light on the castle and the famous pine tree, you were a lot luckier than a visit in 2009 when I shot this version...http://www.ephotozine.com/user/scottishlandscapes-23846/gallery/photo/winter-s-chill----12535109

Warm light, white water, not windy. Wonderful wilderness, Al.
Had to play the alliterative card here because Ronnie summed up the critique perfectly.
Dave
Wow, just back online after an evening entertaining guests and really humbled by all those who have taken time to comment. Thanks Carmen, Dave, Ian, Nik, Kel, John, Darryl, Jeanie, Tony, Geoff and Diane! For your kind comments, confirmation of the Rock, commiserations on the lens cap and critiques (just to continue the alliteration theme ).
