Painted houses on the left side of the street.
Reduced fog thickness.
Added textures suggested by Matti Karnaattu.

Beautiful job on those buildings, Gena.  I've been working on the figure 
in the near boat and a texture for the steps.  But I am finding that 
when I apply a normal to the steps, I get a lot of artifacts in the 
shadows on the front of the steps in the poster size version.

Thanks Jim!

Those steps are in the foreground of the scene therefore it should be
detailed object. So maybe it would be better to use isosurfaces here.
Christoph Hormann is a master of isosurfaces :) Maybe he could help
here if he has time.

This has come a long way, but (there's always a but), all the textures 
(apart from the water), look too dry and unreflective, this may be caused
by the fog I don't know becasue I'm not the one who's rendering it.  It 
just looks asthough everything in the scene could do with a tiny touch of 
specular finish, things like brick and concrete have quite a lot of 
specular in them in real life.  I'm sure you know about all of this and 
it's probably on your list of things to do so don't take it as an attack or
insult.

Yes, i already considered working on those steps.  I decided to submit the
scene i am currently working on myself to the IRTC - when this is finished
i will try to find some time for those steps.  

It's somewhat tricky because of the non-rectangular angles but it should
be possible.  

BTW, the bases of the houses in the original image seem to mainly consist
of quite rough bricks.  It could be a good idea to use heightfileds there
to get some structure.

Nice row of houses, although they seem a bit tall compared to the 
cathedral. They are covereing a good deal more of the left tower, than 
on the painting.

My work on the front of the cathedral is progressing. Slowly, but 
progressing.

Yes, we can do that. Or maybe bump_map will be enough. We will see.

We will add either bump_maps to those buildings or make basements from
heightfields. First, we are trying to have all buildings in place then we can
make fine tuning of textures on those buildings.
