Very nice, you might want to raise your water level, or pull the rocks further out over the pond edge to help cover the liner. The sun, over time, can be hard on it.

You can put in overflow pipes, i.e. pick an area that is slightly lower than the rest of the pond edge, lay on the liner 2 inch 3 inch pvc or whatever type of pipes you want, Cover with one of your rocks, have the overflow pipe go to a gravel pit, a low area, outside of the pond, anywhere it will run away from the pond.
Also point away from any structure you don't want to have a lot of water.
This will handle any sudden down pours and you could still keep your pond full.
