Silke,
That pool water needs refraction. It won't look real without it. From that viewing angle, the light gets bent severely as it goes from water to air, making the underwater contents appear less tall and closer to the surface.
In the absence of refraction, those figures look like they're standing in a visible gas or cloud.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
