Looks pretty good so far. I like the vegetation. What looks weak to me are the rocks. They are just sitting there on the ground like they fell off a truck. They would look better if they were maybe a bit smaller and were build into the ground work, Using a layer of Celluclay or other product to build up the ground work helps with this and gives the ground a more natural look. Painting and adding shadows and highlights would make them look better.
At first glance this would be the only defect I can see in your first attept.
Keep up the great work.
