the first one is far too light on doodads. you need the benches closer togeather, maby in a semi circular layout, have ots of torches, and lanterns arouns, at the edges of the rows. have piles of treasure in the corner, but to make them seem more ordered put them on top of little raised platfors made forom walls (no pathing), you could raise the trone ares a bit, useing cliffs to do this would proably raise it too high, so again you could use walls, play with the axis values to see what effects you can get. use lots of columbs and archways too. also, you could make a copy of the toch model., and change the max roll and ptich angles to approx 0.2-0.3. then put them on the walls, and you can see them comming out at an angle, just to make the walls a little less plain.
as for the second pic, it looks quite good, but it is too dark to see much. i like the flowerrs round the trees, and all the doodads there have been well placed, bvut i think it could do with more, perhaps careully using the bush, shrub, flower, and tropical plant models (maby with the blue mushroom from dungen for a magical effect) you could make flower beds, just made long but thin patches of dirt/ rough dirt and cover it in bushes and shrubs (but make them look slightly ordered. the place flowers and raise thewm so their on top f the bushes and make them look like flowers are growing on the bushes, mushrooms ect round the edges, you may want to use rocks as some kind of border (setting the default scale to apprx 0.4) small fences or darleran walls could be used to make tiny ornalmental wals to the variouse sections of the garden. and in general, some tile variation, such as small paths and so on could look good.
i hope all this helps
