There is an opening, the water is only half filling the neck of the bottle.
...though now you mention it that's not obvious in the picture is it?

Well, if I manage to reduce the amount of water coming out it should look okay.
Though I have no idea how I'm going to get the chaotic effect...

It doesn't have to obvious. In reality many things aren't obvious either!

That's a very difficult thing to do. Maybe Rune's (website) has something to
offer?

Hmm... Well I can't find anything suitable on his website, though it has given
me an idea. I think I can get a very realistic effect with blobs, provided I do
them right...

I'll post the results of my experimentation when I have them :)

Don't forget!   :-)

I'm gonna get some sleep now. It's 0615 or something here (my computer
things it's 0644 however).

The trees look like a sponge painting - using a coarse sponge to place
the paint. Very effective, and looks like a useful idea.

Can we have a few bubbles in the glass, pretty please? It doesn't look
right at the moment.

Overall, the eye _does_ seem to connect between the waterfall and the
glass.

One of the reasons water doesn't look right is a stream in freefall gets
narrower as it drops (constant flux and increasing speed means diminishing
cross section). Also, there would be more turbulence around the stream.
Finally, I think a half filled glass would look better since you can show
off more dynamism with the surface (as it is, that much water falling from
that distance should be splashing outside the glass). Nice work overall.

Thank you! I hadn't thought of that at all. I agree with your other points too,
and I'm going to try to rework the water to look more realistic.

Yeah, it has a certain something. I'm currently playing with the colours to help
them fit into the scene.

I plan on adding bubbles if I get time. Though the ones on the surface might be
difficult to do. It does look unnaturally clear without them.

Cool, I'm glad of that :)

Right, this is a test render of my attempt at improving the pouring water. I've
also tweaked various other bits and pieces, particularly the water materials.

I think it looks a lot better, but does it look realistic yet? Or should I put
more work into it?
