Good job, very pastoral-like.  Only nitpick I have is that I couldn't quite make out what kind of animals those are in the foreground

I like it too.

And a good example how some little adds, like your animals and birds, making pictures "become alive".

Looks like there's moose trouble in the Northwest!  Nice feel to the piece, I think the geese are very nicely placed. I really like the 'habitat trees', hate to call them 'dead' trees. Many years ago a ranger naturalist in Yosemite was kind enough to share a long slog up thru a high pass and spoke eloquently about how the dying stands of trees provided such an invaluable niche in the ecosystem. I've looked upon these with greater interest since, to the point where if the forest scene doesn't include them it is 'not natural'. Well done!

Very nice, really, but if you want some criticism, I'd say the water is so flat the reflection distracts a little. Perhaps breaking the shore line with some rocks protruding from the water or a (broken) band of reeds would help, or a different POV. Just too straight and too sharp, the water. Ah, maybe a little less reflection would also help; 0.7 instead of 1 or so.
Hope this helps you.

I think I like this POV better, but the stones are a bit big and monotonous. You'd have to work on that, I'm afraid.

Looks good. I am having trouble telling how far the snow capped mountains are though. If they are as close as they appear, they do not seem to be big enough to have snow when nothing else does. If they are really far away, then some trees going back into the distance would help make them appear as far away as they are. but the easiest solution would be to try a render without snow. so the mountains read more like hills and  more to proper scale.

Agree with TheBadger here - the snow makes the scale seem wrong

I like the first scene best, but the sky of the 2nd and 3rd is cool!
The tree population should reach a lot farther, plus there needs to be more additional (and different) vegetation, but it's definitely starting to look good!

Cheers

I like the first image as well and agree the water could have some mild wave active and some wind patches. Excellent work you have going here.
