i never liked green water, but aside form that, quite good, the only thing i can think of sugesting is giving it some kind of focal pont, something centeral to the sceen

this isnt so much a sugestion of improvemtn, but what you could do further down the river;
you could have the river banks drop inot a huge gorge vai a waterfall, then using rocks shrubs and other plants cover up the unslightly steep terrain down the sides of the vally

I would suggest using multiple waterfall animations on the waterfall itself. Real waterfalls are rarely rectangular. For example, you could use a small, thin waterfall on top of that little rock you have in the fall. Just a suggestion though :)

I think the green water is very well done. Adds a very swampy feel without looking too cartoonish.

Running water never gets that green. The waterfall is nice, but the water should be shallow and have lots of plants. That will give the impression that the water sits around and collects alge and stuff.

Looks more like it is posioned water to me, and I don't think it's necessary to have the water shallow, for example it could be a very deep ravine from a earthquake etc. that was filled up with water that came running down from the mountains. Though thats just my oppinion, I'll guess it's quite dumb :P
Duh... ^_^

And well It's Felwood... and I think we know what the Undeads have done to that kind of Forest ;)

Allright, I just think that the plain water with nothing in it contrasts too much with the thick forest. mabey you could just add a few doodads in the water, like rocks.

just my opinion, but in 99% of terrains rays of light makes it look crappier

excellent job, however. love the farm, very creative.
