(in order of most obvious)
1. The hedge. Looks like astroturf crossed with feathers.
2. The Pool surround. Looks more like inflatable plastic. Suggest a bumpmap also; some texture stretching on the top too.
3. The pool handrail. Too perfect. Too 'chromey'. No details reflected.
4. palm tree. Trunk looks a bit like a wood candycane.
5. diving board is unrealistic. Any user would immediately be dumped into the water. Also, the wood is too sharp, pool items are rarely that razor edged... people would hurt themselves.
6. pool chair vinyl. too perfect. some wrinkles and specular irregularities would help.
7. Brown wood. Could use more defined specular and some irregularity.
8. The umbrella texture is a bit wonky
9. The lawn is perfectly flat. Which of course is very odd in itself.
I know it's a big list...
But it's a small list compared to the hundreds of other elements which are excellent.
