The water looks a bit too blue and too shiny...
Try using fresnel reflection (reflection_type 1 in MegaPOV)
and a lower roughness value for specular reflection. Use
a completely transparent texture and do the coloring with
fade_color or media. I've always gotten good results with
this method.
Also, it's pretty obvious you used an image_map to texture
the height field, there is a very prominent repeating pattern.
However, there is nothing done that wouldn't be easy with
procedural textures...and without the nasty repetitions.
