Great little house and garden.
Perhaps the fence could do with a rail connecting the posts?
Good idea. Oversight on my part
Nice improvement, added windows too helps the house proportions and appearance.
Posting and getting feedback is a great function of this GameDev site. Fresh eyes, differing perspectives.
Nice looking house and garden scene 
Good Job.
I see in your second scene you brightened your sun and raised the path, making it more 3d. The railings are an improvement. I also noticed that you changed the shape and sizes of your various wooden posts, giving them a more natural look.
Although, you might want to either put your light source on the sun itself, or move it out of the way since currently the light source is somewhere to the upper right of the camera.
Yes I messed with the lighting for a while. The lamp is actually on the sun. I just could not get the look I was after. I will try again. Thank you
I hear you. Lighting, as simple as the subject seems, is harder than one would think.
It is interesting to know that lighting a 3d scene is important enough and complex enough that there are people who build whole careers around light effects.
