Notice, when you are deciding what to do with the "very light line" along the shoreline in the distance ...
... there is a reflected shore bank in the water that is darker than the water just to this side, (taking into account the other reflections in the water, which are probably not necessary to duplicate here.) Also, the color of the water doesn't exactly "fade" like the grass and trees on the far shoreline as it recedes into the distance, as it is a combination of the "colors" of the water with the color of the sky reflected off of its surface. [Look at the color of the water "in between" the reflections of objects along the shore.]
Also, understand that, due to their actual "colorlessness," transparent and reflective qualities, water and glass are the two most difficult "objects" to represent in two dimensions.
