Since this is really a minor issue i don't want to make much ado about it,
but i disagree on this.  Such abrupt changes only occur with relatively
strong and rapidly changing wind.  Also the waves here are quite high
frequency, something also indicating strong wind effect.  The plants in
the picture imply it is quite calm.  Maybe some concentric structures
produced by bubbles or animals would be a nice detail.

Another thing on the water: The reflection seems quite strong at the steep
angles in the foreground, maybe some transparency and scattering media
would be a good idea.

But again, these are only minor issues, the whole composition looks really
nice.
