I believe the 2006 (?) version is cute and cartoony using bright vivid colors, while the new version certainly has a more modern and detailed feel to it, using more detailed textures.
Is that a shadow the grass is casting to the blocks under it? The grass seems to be a part of the block it occupies, following the same curve as the lines of the block edges. Some depth in the grass is visible in the 2006 (?) version, where the grass appears to grow beyond the corners of the block.
The water does look rather thick, and the ripples appear quite noticeable. I like the design of the water, but I think it should a be a little more transparent and the ripples blending into the water... and finally, I think the wall texture looks really nice!
