Wow -
That's coming along beautifully, Thomas - it's beginning to look positively
photographic!


My initial impression though, was that it was --- less than 3D - almost a 2D
billboard.
I think that's largely due to the nearly identical hue of the light in the
windows and the sky behind the house.  It gives a strong impression that I'm
looking through a flat cardboard cutout.  I didn't get a sense that there were
interior rooms with a separate volume.  No far walls.

With regard to the stone archway[s] - perhaps if you could swing your camera
around -y a bit, so that the base of the tower was partially visible through the
lit archway, it would give a much stronger sense of depth.
Also, if there's a way to accentuate the shadow of the other arch, that seems
like it would help a bit as well.

I'm not sure how much you've investigated the lighting from the sunset, but if
it were a few minutes earlier, with the last faint rays of light coming across
the landscape toward the camera - and illuminating the underside of the clouds,
I think that would provide a fantastic contrast and interplay of light and
shadow.

I know you've been at it for a long time, and I'm just making some suggestions
to help you show off that work in all its splendor.
