plants are mostly from Silva3d,

Awesome! I like the detail you put into this. I guess you masked part of the water (procedurally), raised it subtly, colored it and used the same mask to grow tiny grasses on the water object? It's good to see something really worthwhile on this forum again.

Thank you for the positive feedback, I appreciate it. Six water shaders are used, separated by mask shaders.
The small plants on the water sit on an invisible rock.

Very nice, the swamp water is very realistic, I really like it!

Yes a great render of muddy, swampy, stale water!
Realy EXCELLENT colors !!!

Can you post the material for a more detailed and closer examination?

Thank you for posting your setup. I wonder about the render time with such a mix of water shaders. I think you can do with less shaders altogether, and populate straight onto the water (don't use the lake for that, but a sphere same size as planet, or a plane). Check this very basic setup out.
Still, your skill is obvious!

I have added the sphare configuration to my file. I think it's a good idea to use sphare instead of lake.
The rendering time is shorter, but the result is not as good.
