To have a reference is nice, although a big thing is that you should use the right references too. I think it looks rather more like a quiet lake than a lake surrounded by waterfalls (?).
Also a Triskelion is a symbol with 3 spirals, It seems more that you try to do something Ammonite-like, but however, it's to small and the environment draws completely away the attention.
At the moment it doesn't feel like you have a consequent idea or you just putting stuff together without exactly knowing what you want to do.

Updated:

I dont knoe pixel art but the waterfall edge is wrong look at pictures of waterfalls thee water almost always flls from a straight edge, multiple falls may be at different angles but will always be on a straight line, your s looks too curved to me.

I know what it is now, been looking at latest and previous, it's the left most 'split' its quite severe and my mind needs to see more of the black rock sticking out and probably above and in front of the far left stream of water.

@Elk, hi alex, yeah its true, I will fix it in the next update.

@elk yeah thanks =) just posting a3um's edit on the water and waterfall.



he is an such amazing person thanks for all man.

2 more hours of work and I think I will be finished =)

Nice foam, but I think the rest of the water is a bit scratchy. Also the waterfall(s) don't seem to be making an impact 'cos there's no ripples coming from them.

You're improving fast, kudos!
