The sky seems a tad too purple. Other than that, you might consider 
smoothing out the turbulence near the altitude of the water, and maybe 
adding some rougher vegetation (flowers, bushes, trees), especially in 
the foreground, if you have the RAM and patience. Might make the scene 
feel a little more "natural".
