Nice improvement. The lighting is a little flat. Perhaps you could increase the suns intensity? And the the ground vegitation is not looking very real. Getting many polygon into yafaray can be a pain if not possible so yafaray. So you could try rendering the grass with blend hairs in BI. My opinion that's it! Still a really cool concept!

I'm assuming the background was a picture right?

no the background is yafaray's "sunsky" and the water is very simple normal mapped cloud texture

really? wow, how did you get the water to look like water with cloud textures?

Hmmm dunno for sure but I think that happens because I set the texture "inverse"

My two cents: I feel like the foreground is low in contrast although the the image as a whole is pretty high in tonal ranges. This leaves the grass, brush, structure, etc. feeling flat and bland. Add a stronger, yellowish, direct light where the sun would be setting to give a splash of light on the left side of the objects. Make the fill light a slight blue. This will give some 'pop' to the image.

Otherwise, adding a nice background texture for the sky will do this justice. There are some free ones floating around out there if you look around. I'd say only the lighting really needs to be buffed. All the modeling, textures, and composition looks really great as is. Great work so far!

awesome! If I made this, I'd add a clearer sun at the sea, 'cause it seems a bit empty over there now... But you don't have to if you don't want to.

I'm working on this in the future but I'm not sure what and how this is going to transform

I'll be looking forward to the result ^^

I like this, you might pull the camera back a tiny bit, so the fence in the foreground frames across the bottom of the image. And if this were mine, i would add some clouds, maybe photoshop in some clouds (unless Blender can make good clouds?) but yeah this is cool, i think keep it up!
