Great job!  The lamps and texture on the foreground wall are terrific.  Only
two small comments. The texture on the far wall (looks like it's the same
texture as the foreground) is too uniform at that distance.  It almost looks
like new stucco, so maybe some larger patterned texture would help.  Also,
the roof on the tower is very smooth when outlined against the sky (image
mapped cone?)  If you had a few tree branches coming out from behind just a
teensy bit it would break up the line to make it less noticeable.

I think a close up of the lamp in its alcove the way it's currently lit
would look awesome!
