I like it better.  Even so, I think the radiosity count could be higher, and 
error_bound could go lower.  But that's one of those times when you have to 
begin to be realistic.  I've played around with scenes involving grass with 
a high radiosity count, and you quickly realize that it will never render in 
your life-time.  ;-)

I can't tell for sure, but did you put "ambient_light off" in your 
global_settings block?  Some of those stones in the shadowed area seem a 
little bright.  Also (I think I've made this mistake before), make sure that 
your global_settings block is before your #include's, or they will still end 
up with ambient light values, which you generally don't want in a radiosity 
scene.

It's looking good though!  Personally, I love outdoor scenes: grass, stones, 
sky...  :-D
