Looks good Dave. A few comments - All the boards look exactly the same, try adding some noise with your texture map, and maybe some noise in the bump channel too. If you scale the noise in the same direction as the grain of the wood, it produces a really great effect. Also, the river is almost dead center in the scene, and the railing cuts the view right in half; I would move the camera up and to the right, then angle back down and to left.
