It's summer :- ) Everybody is on vacation.

Anyway, it looks quite good, both artistically and technically.

But since you ask for comments... :

- The compositions aren't the best. The building is always in middle vertically. We don't get to see neither ground nor sky. Such central composition can sometimes work....but not here. Reason why it's problem here is that you use the digital 16:9 ratio which really exacerbates this coupled with the horizontal length of the building. There is no breathing room from any side.

- (This one is based on personal taste, so it's not necessarily critique ) The vegetation is rich and technically nice, but it has almost comic look. Little bit too simplified (which is hard to pull off with so many species and variations) for it to be such a strong focus in the images, and the saturation is high everywhere. Maybe if the grass was denser and shorter, and the variation in ground not so wild (rock, then grass, then again rock, again grass) it would work better with the photorealistic portrayal of house. And maybe some foreground shadow, at least something in the composition should be calmer.

On other hand, I know this is SOA aesthetique, to make everything about the image to be striking, attention seeking and rich. And that's ok, some people absolutely love that look, which is why I write it's personal opinion, not critique. I prefer more balance.

Edit: Summer level dyslexy...

In short... looks like a game. It's not that easy anymore to make photo realism. Getting harder by the day... damn uncanny valley.
Oh well, sorry or be happy, just go on... grow ;)
And enjoy life.

I agree with the all the previous comments.

I don't personally like the overall lighting and color palette used in all the images.
It has something "fake" on it... Probably the main issue here is the vegetation. Seems fake, plastic and uses different types of colors/tones. In a few words, the plants don't match good to each other.
