I like the sea.
I guess you are going to work more on the island's soil...Only thing is I find the tree should look "planted" not just "positioned" on the ground.

the sea texture is very nice

if the island were really this flat, why is it not covered in ocean?  it should be rounded, not flat, with dunes...try adding some shadows to get this effect  :)

To be honest I have tried and tried, but I cannot seem to get it elevated. Could you give me an example and then I will give it another try.

okay.  all I did was draw the outline of some humps, then fill in with a big fluffy brush with medium color...add some lights and darks with fluffy brush, smear it around a little bit, add a noise filter, then mask offthe areas which are outside of the island

That is my first attempt at elevation, using shading. So be gental.

Better, but try to rise the island another bit, cause it's still too flat. Just widen the shaded part.

Are you sure? Because if its full tide then thats how high the water will go.
Another thing I can't keep looking at is that if the tree wasn't there, it would look like a very large island from a far away view.
Or is that just what I see?
Maybe I will rase it.
