mmmmkay: A problem I see in both of your levels is that your grass and ground tiling is so badly dispersed. It is not in clumps or anything, just sorta placed a couple tiles away from each other all through the level. Cid_Night, besides the house the level is very plain, as in nothing to it. Seeing as it's a spar house, why not add some more benches etc. around the level, on the roof isn't enough. A bit too bland for my liking.
Now toran, for the most part I believe that's a nice level. I'll list a bunch of pointers too improve as well as things that are good. The grass is a big thing to remember. The stream is sort of straight for my liking (as in enters at the top and continues the same straight line down to the bottom.) You can make it meander near the bottom, and make sure to add some shallow water ripples/stones. The cliffs are done to the best of your ability, I'm content with them. The path looks a tad funny because it gets so small from so large, try and make it more balanced. And lastly, the water body. I think the rippples you have are a bit much, take some of them away and distribute them elsewhere on the water. And don't forget, add some water rocks too.
