Wellness Hotel Pool

Thanks for the ideas Strat, I'll try that the next time I'll be working on it. Honestly i was not very happy with the bumb either, i'd rather worked with displacement there, but render times went crazy. The reason for the low transparancy ist that i wanted to create a whirlpool impression, with bubbles in it.

the initial visual hit is a pleasing one :) there are however, technicalities that would lift the image, the main one being the water. the biggest issue is the bump map you've added - it makes the water look like ice. those ripples look more like frozen ridges. when that's sorted out i'd also make the water less ripply, less colour saturated and more translucent with greater use of blurry reflections rather than heavy bump.
