I made this little diorama to try painting lights and shadows by hand, here https://www.artstation.com/artwork/W26d6v you can find the marmoset file and other screenshots.
Beautiful work on the textures, could almost be mistaken for a painting. That said, it lacks a strong focal element with the roof, bucket, and rock all drawing the viewers attention in different directions. Kind of feels like it needs something with a strong red color in there somewhere, or maybe lighting from a different time of day to break up the blue and muted greens/browns...
Yes, I agree, it lacks of an element that pops in the composition. I should have studied the concept more before starting to model, next time I will spend more time on it
