Looks pretty good, I'd say you should work at making the textures look more rough; things very smooth right now, particularly the grass and dirt.

I agree with Nostrockin. Everything seems just a little too perfect. Nothing seems like it has been lived in. Nobody's yard is that clean! The grass does look a little flat as well. I do like the table umbrella. Did you model it like that?

Helciarius

Thanks for the comments,:) I will definitely dirty it up alot. XD

Cheers

for the most part, theres really no variations in your textures. No heavy contrast, and by the looks of it, no spec maps or anything either? very flat, as others have said.

that being said... i really like your weeping willows.....

I think some warmth to the lighting and some colour in the shadows would help too.
