John, I can understand 'Sight' in your title and 'narrative', because you have provided us with a perfectly edited and beautiful scene. But 'Smell' raises some doubts in my mind, all the more because we can't smell what you mean through Caedes. Anyway, if I had seen flowering vegetation, I would have gotten a positive impression of 'Smell'. But it could just as well be the negative association of 'Smell', for example due to rotting vegetation in and around the water. Obviously I hope not. Nice work in any case!
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!
