um natural object placement and positioning and shading consistency. tell him to study a real picture. But he says its for comedic purposes so authenticity isn't important right?

No depth perception. Figures have no relationship to the background. Shadows and shading non-existent.

How to fix?
First, remove all pointed light sources unless you can get items with the same directional lighting (for instance the left hand tree is specific, notice the shade while the golf bag and white house have none.)

Have each object reference the same light source. (Lense flare is a start.)

Merge grass blades with objects. Get a sense of an object being in front of and behind individual blades of grass. (Not that hard with path, but tedious.)

That should be enough for the next two weeks.

hehe, i dont mind. I figured that a lot of people would say it sucks and I think so too. Ive even told him its lacking in quality but that if he spent more time on it he could fix it. He just needs to know (besides EVERYTHING) exact things to work on...
