Hi

You are doing well!

Areas of 'need-improvement' i can see are::

Landscaping- Trees & plants [everyone is moving to 3D trees now for added realism...2D planes will be a thing of the past very soon]

Sky/Backgrounds- your background/sky doesn't match the lighting in your scenes....try matching the scene lighting & you will get much better results.

Hope this helps

Nice images there.
Concerning the trees, I don't totally agree with you 3DMK. At least, it depends heavily on the workflow.
I work exclusively in archvis (in an architectural firm actually) and although I'd love to use only 3d trees it is simply impossible. Because trees are probably the element that architects t love most to change ALL THE TIME and until the very last minute. It is very common to change their position, scale, to add one here, remove that other one, make this one taller, etc, etc ... That is unfortunately unamanageable if the trees are rendered in 3D.

Of course there is the option to render them in passes. But that doesn't give instant feedback like photoshop does, during over-the-shoulder previs sessions. But I'm confident that VrayRT will change all that when proxies will be supported.

effectively, vegetation is sometimes problematic in my work because clients likes
to changes trees you have put in your image.
