Not too bad. The lighting could use some work (some visible shadows from
light_sources and radiosity would be nice).

The cottage could use a different roof, perhaps. As my brother pointed out, such
tiles would probably become dislodged under heavy snow.

The hills, while they appear to be height_fields, look like they might be
derived from an 8-bit grayscale image. 16-bit grayscale images usually work a
lot better.

Other than those things, you did a decent job. I rarely complete an entire scene
:/
