This does look much better than the original, If you are still planning
further improvments I think you should use an area light to soften the
shadows a bit, I like the sky/trees but it is not realistic as the Sun
appears to be setting in the distance but the light is comming from the
left side. However, it would be a shame to lose either the shadows of the
arches or the great looking sky so I would not change this it is just an
observation.

Also it is worth adding a layer of dirt over your wall texture to slightly
darken the texture near the floor again this is if you are aiming for
realism which is not always the purpose.
