FWIW I certainly don't see much to complain about in the layout on the right. I especially like the yard spurs because I like switching. I imagine the small loop on the right side of the second pic is sidings for businesses. Your carpentry looks really good and I would love to know how you did the lift up section with the hinges. Heck, we should be asking YOU for help. 
The only thing I would add is give yourself enough room for 054 curves if you haven't already so you can run the really expensive MTH Premier and Legacy engines. I only have room for 036 and that rules out a lot of cool stuff.
Looking good however, I don't see a reverse in the second picture once you are running counter-clockwise. Also, don't you want to be able to come off the outer loop to the inside? What's the theme of the layout?
The only viable place that I see to make the necessary reversing loop is in the bottom-right-central of the inner loop. Traveling counter-clockwise from the gate add a left-hand switch aligned to connect via another left-hand switch the left most track of your revering loop complex. Or less wordy...
