Any constructive criticism?

Still a little amateur at the rendering engine and any helpful comments would be appreciated.

I'm still a bit new to this myself, but others have been nice enough to help me so I'll pass it forward. I really like the style you used in all the renderings, the third one maybe the most. But some of the entourage is doing the images a huge disservice, the people, car and background in image two are too distracting and kill the images. Maybe make the glass in image one a little less translucent, or add more detail to the inside of the house, also some of the roofing and the stone work seems a bit flat. Hope this helps.

For me, I like the "mix" of the render and SU view, except the lines are too dark.
They are ok for a quick concept presentation, but I think you could use Twilight to a stronger advantage to look more realistic. What do you need help with?
Did you follow the video tutorials (linked in my signature)?

-Bright light on garage in middle of sunny day? You couldn't see that light if it were day.
I like the last 2 views best.
The first one, camera could be much lower, eye-level cameras seem to work best when starting to learn rendering.
To show a wider view of the house when standing near it... Use magnifying glass in SU and hold shift key down while dragging downward with the mag. glass to zoom to a wider angle camera without walking backward in SU.

I like the way you placed the people in there. Did you do that postpro?

too many SU lines for my liking, and I prefer eye level views....just my 'thing', not necessarily a criticism. I appreciate that you are not seeking photorealism (neither do I, 'cos I can never achieve it...!!!)

but, a criticism is this, the brickwork at the corners aren't real enough...I know, it's tricky....but it's worth the effort to get it right

[PS. I hate using bricks for that reason....!!]
