I'm always a big fan of averaged normals in a normal map for water. or a
height field built from a pigment_map of the same patterns... this will give
me a good excuse to post one of many works-not-quite-in-progress-anymore.

I love the leaves, though like others said, a little more variation in
brightness or translucency would look great.

The texture on the foreground tree could use some work. It's a little flat
looking. Other than that, it's looking really nice.
