Regular B.net quality.

The lightning is quite good.
Which means it sucks.

This is poor quality terrain. You have tons of empty space, and Blizzard cliffs look awful here (I still think they always look bad, but others disagree). The waterfall looks terrible, you have to add rocks and other doodads to make it look better and more natural. Basically nothing looks natural, it all looks "placed".

I like the lightning though! :)

Haha you went from nothing to spam. :p

Now you have to learn how to place doodads properly. It takes practice to get a feel of where things should go. Don't place things evenly and random. Group things, like take two rocks, put them together so they are touching and partly in each other, then add a shrub or two in it, and maybe a cattail.

The waterfall looks heaps better.

It shouldn't really, unless your computer sucks the big one. A stationary object won't lag up a game, of course if you have thousands it will, but he won't.

Not a very good computer eh?

Just use the doodads better. You can use less, and make it look as "full".

Ahh, never place at random. Each shrub must be placed individually. You don't have to take forever to place them, I do it pretty fast, but you want to place them all yourself.
