Very nice. I'm still not sure about the distortion ring around the hole,
though it looks better than before.

A suggestion for more 'realism'. Red-shift the colours slightly based on
their proximity to the hole.
Light travelling near a black hole looses energy, in addition to being bent
towards the hole. This loss of energy results in colours being shifted down
towards the red end of the spectrum.
I don't know how hard that will be, or how good it will look
