Nice render especially the green water ...

I like this. I think this could be improved by adding a surface layer with the strata plugged into the surface layer. Turn off the color (? try it with a rock color variation) and reduce the coverage to 60%. This will break up the layering, which I think is too strong.

I think the water is too green (but a little murky green is nice), and the water is too rough. But a great start and POV/composition.

Very interesting green water! But I would have tried to find a better POV. Good work at all!

The green of the water is interesting, yet it looks like you can walk on it as it is thick as jelly... maybe a bit more transparency would help?

Lovely lighting and wonderful colours - I agree about the water - great start, though

Great POV and lay of the land!  I like the Palms.  Linda

the update is nice, like an oasis!

Reminds me of the backgrounds in picture books of Dinosaurs. It's a very good start. I am not sure how to offer any ways to make it better.

They just issued a tornado warning and said to stay away from windows. Does that mean I can't use my computer?

Lovely!

Great pov and colours - might be nice to see one with a slightly stronger lighting and more contrast...?

Nice image. Like EoinArmstrong said by changing the Sun position you could get another feel .
