Wow, that is a really well done water animation!

The only thing i can add is that it seems like there are some inconsistencies with the waves when it goes around the lower curve on the river. But that could also be intenetional, so i don't know if that helps.

Hello Drakinari, thank you for your nice feedback! Do you mean the white foamy parts disappearing and reappearing around the turning point? This is intentional to a certain degree because I wanted to keep the river a bit noisy while still having parts that are traceable, but maybe the effect turned out a bit too strong :)

I meant the other side with the dark blueish parts of the waves. The foamy splashes actually were ideal in my opinion ^^

But now when i look at it again, it seems to have been intentional since they are continuing the previous incoming wave of the river.
Sorry when it sounds weird. I just don't know how to phrase it better. ^^
