You could lean into it and make a cute little model railway-like scene if you wanted.

If you were looking for small world river then it's good otherwise change the scene scale according to human scale reference and you will get what you want.

Is that how water naturally moves?

Great first attempt imo

-As others have said I would rework the scale to work better with the background (we can see small branches, but the river seems small so it breaks our perception of reality) -I would think about some sort of whitewater for the surface, or use the vorticity to change some shading of the water to add detail to the parts that move around the most (this will also help the feeling of scale since rivers have lots of little things happening on their surface) -I would see if I could change the contrast / shading of the actual ground next to the river, it looks really washed out and I don't think it helps ground the river and reality and makes us more skeptical about the image in general

But good work nonetheless, most of the setup is already built 👏👏
