Lake Ascent

It's so hard to make things look nice, especially these before/after sunset/sunrise. There is a fine balance between too bright and too dark. I tried!

Not bad Bobby. I would remove those broken trees though.

This may be a pretty easy fix in Photoshop
..the light quality looks correct the color seems a bit unnatural. Maybe use a separate map from your HDRI dome.

I am rendering it out again. I am going to try a day shot next.

Some work on the night view and a left turn to the day view, which I like much better.

Usually I prefer dusk shots, but this day shot is really, really nice

The day turned out good. Here is another crack at the twilight shot.

Now, that I do like! I guess the only thing is that the scenery in the background does not match the day scenery. Perhaps it's an enchanted forest.

yeah, they sell house plans, so the environment isn't critical, so they don't have to match.

I really like the latest image Bobby. Personally, I'd try removing the tree closest to the camera - it pulls too much attention away from the overall scene. Also, I'd probably bump up the exposure on the house a bit so potential buyers can see the house more clearly. I hope you don't mind, but I just quickly edited the image in Lightroom by increasing the shadow slider. I included before & after images so you can cycle back and forth to see the difference.

All that being said, I really like this image Bobby. I wish I had the tools & skills to create landscaped environments like that.

Yes, side by side, I can see the improvement. Thanks!
