The edges seem very hard... I'd try softening them a bit

looks good, can we have a close up to see the edges cos to me they still look like they could be a bit hard.

looks good so far

out of curiosity, what are those small square platforms under the booth?

also one small thing...the brick texture doesnt look all that realistic and isn't tiling properly...there's an edge on the right of the image

edit: there's some awsome hi-res textures you can use on mayang.com . 40pic download a day user added image

looking good. how'd you do the flag stones?...they look a lot more realistic now (except they repeat a little).

the graffiti is a little hard to see...maybe some simple spray tags could complement the piece more user added image

I'd suggest making the red bar less specular and adding a little blue to the colour... Did you use the same texture for all of the flag stones? 'Cause, as already stated, they look very similar. You should probably make at least one or two more different textures, apply them at random and maybe rotate some of the stones in 90° intervals...
