Very nice. 

I'm assuming that you're using media to get the water color. If you are, is
it scattering or just filtering? If you're not, umm.... wow!

The sand on the left looks unnatural. It looks like an ocean shore, but 
there are no waves (too "islandish" for a lake).
That's easy criticism. But the color of the water is really splendid ! 
Very good work. How did you achieve that ?

I'm really impressed. This looks like a great waterscape for placing 
such things as boats or other such things. Like another poster, my main 
concern is the beach on the middle ground. I'm not sure that surf is 
needed, but a more natural looking curve to the water and a change from 
scrub to sand would look nice. Possibly with some erosion to separate 
them. A cross section like this would look fairly realistic, but maybe 
beyond your intents for this scene:

C = scrub
S = sand
w = water

ccc
cccccccc
ssssss    <-- note the erosion in here
sssssss

Purdy.  Really invites a dip.  Reminds me of a vacation camping trip 
that my family took across weatern Canada when I was young.  We vowed 
that each morning we would swim in every body of water we'd camped next 
too.  Each morning found the water very still, very pretty, and very, 
very cold.

The water is excellent! Very quite morning with just a very, very little
breeze...
I am curious to know how you did it.

You cought me. The texture could be better on the hills, for sure.. as 
well as the overall form. I just used a quick gradient pigment map with 
a light sand color, and a slope pigment for the hills.

The water color was a very simple absorbing media, the blue-green tone 
of the water is mainly becuase of the light coloration of the area 
undeneath, if you look closely, I think you can see some instances where 
the gradient restarts underwater.

I'm quite flattered, btw, seeing that this is coming from the guy who 
did the GEOMORPH include file... (which I have yet to play with... )
