Hi Takuapa,
not bad the project and the render too, for me you should control some little things:
- the grass is good (how it was done?) but it's color is too unnatural, maybe just lowering the saturation should become right,
- I suppose that the background image comes directly from the render because it's totally burned, add one in post
- I think that the black color used for the structure and the window frames it's too strong black (lower it's value and you'll see that it will remain black but with a better aspect)
- the mapping for the two stones of the structure should be adjusted

..that's all

Cheers, Paolo

I completely agree with Paolo. More variations of green for the grass, bit lighter and darker with slight tints of yellow. Also you need to chamfer edges for the extra realism, because you would not see such sharp edges in the real world. More dramatic lighting like sun and sky and maybe play with colors will improve and make this shot stand out a lot more better.

Not bad at all.
A few comments:
1. Look at the joint beween the verandah plinth and the tile finish, it betrays the image - either the tile edge or a trim should show;
2. I actually like the colour of the frames / structure. Perhaps this is a design consideration. HOwever I find your timber facia to be the wrong colour in the sheme (I would have made this a dark grey / black as well in keeping with the scheme);
3. I agree with Paolo's grass comment - very good but perhaps the colour does not represent the reality the map seems to be able to mimic. And I also would love to know how you achieved that.
