Is the water that bad?

Then let's discuss it. Sorry for finding this pretty obvious =)

The water in Real Life:

As I watch those two images (video, the hell cares) I can't see a markable difference on the water effects. There is reflection and shadows between little waves. The only things that misses is the depth, but thanks, it's the Sea... and the shadows between the haven and the water.

In conclusion, I find the discussion of Water quality of little importance, since it is good as it is and doesn't need a workup.

See ya!

Then let's state the pretty obvious differences =)

1) The water moves
2) Reflective properties
3) Refraction
4) Opacity

What i don't understand is, if water is of that little importance why do you keep posting in the water thread.
