The closer you get the pickier the critiques.
The one thing that i.m.o. is a bit out of tune with the rest of the image 
is the regularity of the wooden fence, in shape and colour.

For this I always go around with the colour picker, it shows that there is 
relative little white an blak in places where to expect it. Highlights on 
the palm leaves, the plant in the corner even has no pure black in it. I 
modified contras in the gimp, you could make the shadows a tad darker and 
the bright part a lot lighter, The flat piece on the foot of the first 
collum on the left could be very close to white.
