The meadow close-by looks very realistic. But I have some slight problem
with the fog, not sure what exactly. Would a ground fog be better..?
But definitively you need to add crusty details to the stems of the trees,
they look way too smooth! And the horizon needs distant, small trees, as
well. Or something.
What about the one or another mushroom on the meadow?
Have some climbing plants grow on a part of the ruin, maybe.

Ive, can you send me the source code for the grass and maybe, too, for the
leafs in the grass? And for the trees? Wow, that would be nice!

I agree with Jim that this is a great start, but having the ruins dead-center
and flanked by the dead trees is a bit too symetrically boring. Moving the
camera (and therefore the ruins) off to one side would help the composition
greatly and would remove the unfortunate tangent of headstone->raven->dead
tree. Leading the eye compositionally is something that can really make or
break a piece.
Also, as others mentioned, more roughness to the dead tree and I'd like to see
some stone or brick work peering through the "stucco."
