First of all I will give you the good points...

1st of all nice looking forest in the background
I like the house too

Now few changes that can be done...the water should be deep, and the front view is empty..u can make a garden, or a minicrop in the front view..
that's all I must tell...Maybe my points are not as good a a pro terrainer, but I hope that these are welcome...

First of all, I notice you are using a mix with Blizzard trees and imported ones. Replace the Blizzard trees, they just isn't doing the terrain any good. What's really ruining the imagery for me is the fact that it looks like the world just comes to a complete stop behind those shy trees in the background. Perhaps the angle isn't the best either, as you can't squeeze much of a light source in there.
Furthermore, consider where you place flowers and shrubbery. For example, the leaf tile doesn't really work with flowers on it in my oppinion.

hmmm ok here we go.

The lake definitly needs more work as it just looks boring on the moment and you do not really wana look at it. The front is very emty maybe add somthing their like somthing of a farm a field with cropse or somthing. Just a little suggestion but maybe add som birds cause right now i dont see any. You also might wana use a bit more height variation but thats just my opinion.

Now the good things:

The tile variation isn't so bad but maybe the lake could use more also like if sayed before i like the forest in the background besides that its just a good terrain just needs som small changes but thats just my opinion i hope that my advice helped a bit and good luck with terraining.

Btw Its a Pond
Yeah i asked a few people on chat and they didnt like the pond either. Also i cant make the pond deeper cause thats how far it goes and it wont go any farther, im trying to add a sun and i changed the angle. Im also trying to find a new sky cause it just doesnt seem to fit.

For a sky, play around with fog and the cloudbox models tinted to be quite pale (around 20,20,20)
And to make the pond appear deeper, use a darker water color. Additionally you can use a darker tile.
You can also go another route and use the waterplane model.

I think you should fix the house rotation, so that we will see the front door. Second, take a screenshot from more faw away, so that we will see the whole house/garden/pond/road to house.

Also place some doodads.
And I also liked the forest in the backround.
