I'm no pro and couldn't begin to approach this level of work but may I comment on the front of house shot? (You did ask)
I agree the wet path area is distracting but I find my eye drawn across the shot by that path to the ?driveway gates not to the entrance of the house and that gate is not a great feature, and what's that dark triangle on the grass, bottom RHS?.
Best option was: flatten the fence

(looks like a electrified prison fence, YMMV)
Maybe a wide angle from the gates with them open, and not in shot, across the front? The shadows are really nice but agree to "lift" the entrance.
In the boat shot I find the glass refections from the boat, LHS wall, too busy and distracting from the clean lines as well, and the ladder reflection on the tv while you're at it

Wish I was as good at shooting as being an armchair critic !!
Edit: Just noticed that dark grey wall that looks like it would not allow the shot from the gates!! Maybe a higher viewpoint from that spot as taken to lessen that fence impact?
