I like this version better. But there's water, but no reflection of the tufts of grass.... do they float? Looks a bit strange. What happens if you render without waves?

Yeah I just noticed that myself. I turned reflection off in the water and have a Reflection shader there but I suspect it got disconnected..will have a look

Well they were floating but now I've got them in the water for sure and I still have no reflection. Maybe because the sun's coming from behind and they're casting shadows where the reflection should be?

In a full width crop it seems I was correct re: the shadows negating obvious reflection so I'll try another full render while I'm at my chiro appt. this A M.

Yeah, much better. Still I think this has potential for more. Lower POV a bit, so you have more reflection bursts in water, and use a different weed in water, like (higher) reeds/bulrushes, which also would give it more contrast (grass reflections are very light on right side). Add one or more loose rocks for additional spunk.

As much as I'd like to this DELL is totally inadequate and the CORSAIR has fan problems and I don't have enough clear time on it to more than load the scene and the nose starts....sigh...still no word from my tech guy either...so much for the 'friendly' warranty heh heh

Is it just like broken fans? I have a box of generic size  (I forget what that is like 4 inch or something?) and few 5 or 6 inch fans I could probably get shipped to you fairly cheap since they weigh like nothing. They're generic but quiet and fast. I actually made a mistake years ago and kinda bought a couple dozen too many... lol

I'd say yes if I knew the size and was at all DIY but the only DIY I do is change guitar strings and batteries in my pedals heh heh. I leave expensive tools to competent persons always.
