That's going into the right direction indeed.
Still... I am not entirely satisfied :-)
What about the lighting of your scene? From what I see, it looks like there 
is a light behind the camera, pretty low (shadows from the palms) but there 
seem to be other lights too (apart from the backlighting of the cloud). I 
may be wrong, but I suspect that you use a lot of ambient in your textures' 
finish. In particular the fronds are very bright and seem to lack any shadow 
casting upon each other. The same can be said for the boat which appears 
rather flat.
