I didnt see this before now so Its new to me!
Looks nice, inside the door area looks a little incomplete and you need a splash area around the bottom of the fountain to give a more realistic look
looking nice though mate

Also, I think the biggest thing that jumps at me, is how clean everything looks. Dirty it up a bit!
Lookin' good! It's not uncommon to get bored with a project. If you need the creative pick-me-up, work on something new for a while and come back to it.

getting down and dirty
The idea of setting the scene in the evening is very intriguing! I will give it a try. And thank you for reminding me about the splashes around the fountain!
And since I am just a beginner, could you give me ideas on how to make it dirty?
PS: so now I have to go back to that thing... I said I was sick of it!

. Even if you have to do something that you dont like, try to make it funner by encorperating something that you enjoy . As for this scene, good job! Im not really the one to be giving advice when it comes to modelling though
.. so i cant really lead ya in any real direction... as for dirtyness though i would open your material for the ground (the bricks) and then open it in any graphic editing program.. and add some "almost" black (more of a dark brown) blotches to it, that are kinda suttle.. dont go overboard!. Maybe try adding rust to certain metal objects, and mildew to the textures on the wall . That is what I would do personally in Photoshop with my Airbrush tool and paintbrush tool.

tahnk you!
Actually I love to model architectural elements, landscapes and so on, so I enjoyed working on this. Problem is when you are a beginner like me you have to go back to it so many times to fix little things, that after a while you can't stand to see it anymore.
I am actually following the suggestion of letting it be for a while,
and maybe I will come back to it in a bit. What I notice also is that
maybe I bang my head against the wall in a project because I don't know how to solve a specific problem, then later on, while I am following a tutorial on something else, I discover the solution.
