No don't like it, it's a cheat.

a) It's not transmissive, it's only variable reflection on a plane
with a normal. (Single colour plane.)

plane { y, 0
	interior {
		ior 1.5
	}
	texture {
		pigment { rgb <0,0.3,0.2> }
		normal { granite 0.02 scale <10,20,5> rotate y*36 }
		finish {
			ambient 0
			diffuse 1
			reflection_type 1
			conserve_energy
		}
	}
}

b) the stars have been set to "vampire" mode with no_reflection
because they looked "odd" when reflected on this water.

There once was a time when I tried to make my scenes internally
coherent, i.e. if you placed the camera anywhere in the scene you
would get a picture of the scene, not the back of a cardboard cut-out.
Now it's more of a case of please don't go out of the bounds of the
designated viewing area :-(
