This is a remake of a farm that my Grandma used to live on. Any thoughts on what could make the scene look more natural or any criticisms will help. =)
Mate this …all of it is soo very good i have got nothing but to say amazing work and congratulations your scene and every object in it is awesome!
I really like this scene very much. You did a great job of modeling, texturing, setting up the scene, and have great composition. You have lots to be proud of with this project!
I hesitate to offer my feedback because I do not want to take away from the excellent work you have done with this particular project, although I am not sure of what you originally intended so, I am going to plow ahead anyway. 
There are a couple of things, in my humble opinion, which seem to be out of place when I give more than a cursory glance at the scene. Is the truck supposed to be new showroom quality ? Or, has the truck been restored to a show quality vehicle? Or, is the scene suppose to be a realistic farm scene?
I don’t know exactly what your are going for with the truck or, what you wish the viewer to see…is it new?..restored?. Are you going for realism? What I am seeing, when I think of a farm scene is a well used working farm vehicle, does not meet the expectation I had from the scene title. But, then again, I am not sure the intent you were going for with the scene/truck. When I view this scene, the truck body is very shiny and reflective; it almost is too much for the shadowing of what appears to be a late afternoon/early evening time of day. For me, it takes away from the reflectivity and shine quality of the chrome wheels, bumper, and other accessories. Even if the truck had been freshly washed, I don’t believe it would be this shiny unless the truck were not a working farm vehicle and kept in a garage for Sunday drives only.
Also, I think I would have to do something with the shadow on the building. For me, it should include some semblance of the cab of the truck against the house/building, which might be hard to do with Blender’s lighting. It’s difficult to tell but I am assuming the truck is black? It is another one of those things that makes it not quite realistic to me. I remember some of these old trucks and mostly I remember blue, turquoise blue/green, or red ones with white painted bumpers rather than chrome. LOL of course, I had to do some research to make sure my memory isn’t to faulty! Here is a couple of reference pages you might be interested in for future use.

Again, I think you did a most excellent job on your model, texturing and composition. I truly hope to see more of your work in the future.
Thank you both for your feedback. The main goal is a realistic farm scene, thank you for pointing out the color of the truck and reminding me of how used farm vehicles usually are. I may also throw together a showcase scene where I can have a clean truck and then use this one as a dirty scene.
The sun in the hdmi image giving light is just to the left of the grainery barn in the image so the shadow is the tail end of the truck. I know in blender you can turn off everything but shadows on objects so I’ll try playing around with faking shadows of the trucks cab. Thank you for the idea.
Hello
maybe try adding some small things that you normaly find on a farm.(for ex. a bucket some rocks maybe a pavement) So it looks more lived in
Thanks for the input. Yesterday I just reloaded the project again and I’m taking it in a bit of a different direction… Put in a gravel road, changed the clouds to overcast. Next things to work on is sculpting the ground to get the rocks to sit realistically like it’s been run over constantly, put dust on the truck. Then I’m going to redo the house/barn to give more of a warn down look to them like they haven’t been kept up. The goal is to get everything as close as possible to my grandmas old farm so I can frame it and give it to her. Hopefully by this Christmas it’ll be done.
