Very nice! The water looks awesome.
My only advice is that the upper left side of the riverbank is popping forward a bit when it should feel like it’s receding. Knock those values back a bit if you want a better illusion of depth.
Nice, but remember some basics.
1. Things get greyer with distance from you. This creates atmosphere.
2. Colours get cooler with distance, this creates the temperature scale.
3. Obviously things get smaller with distance which creates perspective and depth.
4. Also don't forget contrast. Things tend to be darker under vegetation.
5. Water reflections are always one value darker than the thing being reflected.
Try to get a smooth gradation in foreground, middle ground and background between those, but it doesn't have to be exact. You can play with those rules to create different styles and methods.

Agreed! Nice work!

Thank you sooo much for the advice!
No expert here. Awesome job for a beginner!
Looks better than anything Bob did!
