stream/waterfall shot

Hello, I took this and it's ok I suppose, but for the purposes of this thread I really wanted to pick your collective brains about stream/waterfall photography (I hope that this is the right place for that? ). Specifically, what sort of exposure times are we looking at for that silky, delicate flowing water look without burning out the highlights (I guess it'd depend on the stream, its flow), and also are there any tricks to be aware of. For example it struck me that using a polariser next time might be a good thing. Anyone have any experience with this sort of stuff they care to share? Thanks!

Kris;s sot I think improves the image. However as this is not something I would take, can you guys tell me how to make the water flow look 'more real?'
Its probably not waht I reaaly mean, but to look nore 'active' an defined.
