The water probably doesn't look that bad.  The issue with water that makes it
interesting looking it what is available to reflect.  Your sky and background
is rather simple which ends up making the reflection very simple and chromey
looking.

I always point out that reflective surfaces only look as good as what is
available for them to reflect.
