Yes, some highlights on branches to the trees on the right. Just a little bit.

The house is getting lost behind the trees -- perhaps some fine line darkening of the gutterlines might be enough to carry it through.

The water -- maybe a little darker blue, but not if it doesn't keep with the integrity of the actual water color.

I'm always impressed with real artists like you. I'm neither a real one or a fake one!

I am sure your aunt will love this.
