I would say that one of things is there is no refraction on the pen once it is in the water, which is kinder unatural.The Pen in water it's self looks pretty good, thought the glass texture isn't quite there, but i can't pin exactly what it is thats letting it down.

I tweaked the GI a little bit as it was looking a little drab to me.

On a side note I uploaded a glass shader I made using a tutorial for somereason it cannot be acessed..... It is just a small box with directional lighting a wine glass and the shader. I unfortunately may have uploaded the one scene with other experimental or non wokring glass shaders though so if it works now then I can update it with the working glass shader.
