Good landscaping job, but my first impression is:

#1 - Lose the girl. Distracting, doesn't fit, and looks like she was flash-frozen while dancing badly. (Is that Elaine?)
#2 - Need to desaturate and darken the plantings to match the photo (Look at the trunk of the tree on the left compared to the ones you put in)
#3 - Need to match seasons of plantings. Your client probably doesn't want leafless trees and bown plants, so I'd paint some leaves on the existing trees.
#4 - What the heck, add some water in the pool. That should impress them.
#5 - Don't know what your landscape plan calls for (if you have one), but I'd cut out a freeform chunk of grass, edge it, and fill it with a stone or red bark bed. I think that would look sharp.
