Thanks to all for suggestions. This is second try, camera params 
modified, lighting modified.

Answers to some questions from you:

- bitmap foregroud and background is placed by my macros, if you want 
them, they are part of my POVarch project, which can be downloaded from 
sourceforge (www.sourceforge.net). But beware, project is in very 
pre-alpha stage, and without any docs.... Hint: If you want use my fg 
and bg, you must use also ArE_PlaceTargetedObserver macro to place 
camera, and camera twist is done by setting ArE_CameraRotation variable
before placing it. Fg and Bg must be placed after camera.

- make render without photo is really easier, but my employer, which 
designed theese buildings ;-), want it in photo......

- setting up camera by hand is very hard and long task, I'll try to 
write some engine for extracting camera params from photo as part of 
POVarch...

Regards

Looks much better now, the lighting seems correct to me.  

Some radiosity could help too, reflection of the sky in the windows would
also be quite effective IMO.  I would also suggest some dirt, but your
employer probably would not agree :-)

I would suggest you do this by having the user draw some lines around the
edges of the other building(s) and then creating a box from this so the user
knows which rotations to use for the CG buildings.

Exactly ;-). And he wants it today, so I have only time to start render....

In my mind, it was something, which allows you to click into image and 
write 3D coordinates of clicked point and after you click n points, it 
creates POV camera definition for you.

This may be a little late, but one thing you could do to make the buildings
match the photo is to change the color of your light source a litte (add
yellow).  If you look at the sidewalk in front, it doesn't look gray at all,
even though in real life it is.  I'm not really sure, but it is possible it
would take away from the clean look that the buildings have right now if you
did too much.  I don't know... Just a suggestion.  :-)
