Here is a private home I just completed. I hope it works.
Looks good Bobby! One of your best exteriors I think.
Very nice work, the surroundings look great!
yes, that’s great!
the dirt looks very good, how did you do that? just textures, maybe displacement?
wow!
picturesque
The tree to the left is a little odd in colour, could do with some desaturating and hue balance more towards yellow. Same with a couple of the fg plants, just stand out a little much compared to the others.
However aside from that… easily the best image i’ve seen from you, it’s really good. Well done 
Very nice image Bobby. Love the house!
House mulch
The mulch is 2 texture maps using the gradient edge plug-in. I also rendered out a mask and cut/paste in PS.
I applied a orange filter over the entire scene in PS and I have desaturated the whole scene a bit since the post so hopefully the colors came into balance.
Peers
B.T.W. There is nothing better then hearing a “well done” by your peers. Thanks!
Nice work Bobby! Very Painterly.
Really nice work Bobby.

Very nice Looks like a story. Nice style.
Style
Coming from giraffe, wow… I have arrived! You have been a inspiration for me so it means a lot.
Hey Bobby,
I hope you got paid enough, nice attention to detail; you’re improving. Where did you get the gradient edge plugin?
Thanks,
Vandy
Paid
Paid enough ? I am afraid my work isn’t valued much 
. A computer does it after all.
Here is a link the the plug-in thread:

thanks so much 
Good job Bobby, Looks pretty amazing. I also noticed your new watermark. Looks nice, how did you eventually do this? just photoshop?
watermark
I downloaded an app that was licensed monthly, but they turned it unto annually so now I am just doing it in PS?
another well done from me Bobby!
(agree about the color of the tree on the left though)
very nice rendering!!! as every said here…your best exterior rendering!!
I think the tree on the left should be out…for two reasons:
*colors, they don’t look natural
*composition, this type of tree looks weird there, split the view in that area…put the house third plane from your camera.
