But that is often true.  Water looks like frozen mud, sometimes lava, in 
many photographs.  She's using reflection ( 0, .85 ).  That is already a 
lot.  Maybe you mean transparency?  But she uses filter .8 and diffuse 
.025, already very transparent.  I believe it is the character of the 
texture which gives it a slightly molten or melted look, like in photos 
where the shutter speed is a little low.  But this is about the best we 
are getting for the effect of choppy water in POV these days.
