You might run a light wash of the sea color over the trees in the water to soften them and make them a little darker (reflections are usually darker in tone than what they are reflecting, I think) and break them up a little as Doug suggested.
It would appear that you painted the tree reflections last. Long after the
paint representing the water dried. Worse, the reflection color is different
from the trees. Very unrealistic. Always plan your work so that the water is
first, and wet enough to then be able to quickly paint trees (or anything else)
and their reflections. The reflections then blend in, wet-into-wet and look
natural.
I hope that this helps you, Jim. Otherwise… nice work.
Very nice conversion of the tree row!
(You have already received advice for optimization.)
