Nice lighting. Really like the reflection in gable window.

and the water side.

Love the roadside one in particular. Very clean and nice subtle lighting.

Thanks you. It reminded me of one of the first v-ray renders I did; before I got caught up in the gamma debacle

[flino2004]

they look very good...at the roadside view I think the ropes need more work(they are floating) about the water side I think the grass looks too green and the water still needs some work.
for the water I would try to use more transparency(refraction) with fog to see part of the posts of the pier inside the water. I said before the color should be dark green with bump, but I think in this case I would use displacement because the camera is very close and the flag looks more natural.

One quick word on saturation, I find that the culprit for oversaturation is often in the textures. Just like I rarely use solid colours that are over 200 RGB, I stay well clear of oversaturated or overbright textures. Vegetation can be a problem. If going through your maps one by one is too much of a drag, you can always correct the diffuse straight in Max. For instance, I always let all my leaf textures for a given scene go through the same color correction map to add some yellow, reduce the saturation and take down the gamma a notch or too depending on illumination.

Thanks for the tip.
