Good stuff Zeger,
Do you allow variability in the dimensions of bricks? I'm used to English 
style bricks which are not so elongated.
See http://www.sizes.com/materls/modular_brick.htm for a reference for 
different styles and dimensions. When bricks are laid and dressed some sort 
of bar (often cylindrical or square) is pulled along the cement leaving a 
concave depression - the grain follows the brick edges. Your closeup bricks 
appear to be projected over the cement resulting in an unreal feeling. Also 
there is too much cement.

As always, I look forward to more of your excellent work.
