Lift the camera up a bit, I feel asthough I'm falling
backwards.

kind of water & clouds being near desert-like mountains, IMHO.

I get the feeling the water is salty, and alkaline so nothing lives in it, or
near it even. Maybe ghost rain would be appropriate (rain that evaporates
before it hits the ground). It would add extra irony to give rain, and take
it away.

The water looks ok to me. I see water done hundreds of different ways and they
all mostly look ok. I think that's because if I look at the river, the pond
behind my house, or the water standing in the horse tank, they all look
different, but still are all easily recognizable as water.
The sky looks great! The lighting seems perfect for photorealism to me. So
mostly now, you just need to add tons and tons of detail to the land. For
starters, it seems a too evenly toned; I'm seeing very little color variation
that I can't attribute to the shadowing.
Looks tons better than any of the landscapes I've ever tried.

The sky looks a little purple to me. Might want to lighten it up just a
bit.

You know you've been raytracing too long when you say things like that.

Very nice! Once the hills get some vegitation, it will be hard to tell
the scene from a photo. Your water texture is beautiful. How did you do
it?

Just a bozo normal pattern and variable reflection.
(By the way; would it be too discorteus to ask if you could use a user
name that would differentiate you from Ken Tyler? It's not any big problem,
but it's a bit confusing to see many articles from "Ken" but from two
different persons...)

The water looks too random. I think it needs ripples that kind of fit
the contour of the shoreline.
Nice hills.
