Why smoke is blue? Would change it to something grayish/transparent.
Textures are different size? Example: the wall is very sharp, but this "words" on arch is very blurry.
Grass is very weak.
And you have these foliage hanging from top are more yellowish, not soo green as yours.
It's from me
The first thing I noticed in the picture was the hole in the roof, mostly because of the contrast. If you really want the statues to shine, I would try to change the lighting so that they pop out more, I didn't actually see them well until you showed the closeup shot of them. Hope this helps
What engine are you using?
@amile duan- no the concept was called under the dome. has nothing to do with the show
@ Deciduo- I am using Cryengine.

also looks like alot of your ground textures are too dark swell, getting your diffuse textures in the correct space would allow the lighting to work much better
i dont know the lighting engine but you could improve the lighting a load now your textures are better
lower tha bounce light on the ceiling/dome and get more contrast in there
quick paintover:
its from USSR hymn. this whole thing is actually some post-apocalyptic version of subway station Kurskaya, in Moscow.

@Shepeiro I am using Cryengine for the lighting. I appreciate the paint over that's definitely the look I am shooting for. The nice thing about the engine is that I can iterate the lighting quickly since there is no light maps and should have an update this afternoon.
@Linkov Thanks for the translation. When I made the textures I just used a Cyrillic font in Photoshop with website and what not as the text. Not sure but if you know who painted the original concept I would like to credit the Artist.
Vladimir Manyuhin aka mvn78
Here is a shot with some more contrast. I added some minor depth of field to the outside and turned down the fog a lil since it washed out the scene.

The texture of your pillar is odd and too low res, if not try to add a details normal map on top of it, it will sure help.
Get rid of that awkward background scenery ( way to much contrast there ) and it catch the eye too much instead of your real focus point. Try a different camera position ?
The ground is not enough perceptiple too, we can berely see what texture it's made of. Also, crank up that water reflection resolution of this cube map...I can count the pixels
Tone down those ground grass blade, they're too vivid for that kind of place.
Again, it's just my perception, nothing more, but keep in mind that those tips are here to help you progress even more.
Show us your real final shot

1. In your scene the arch etched into the wall with all the circles on top in your scene appears to be flat, but in the reference image it looks more like it's protruding from the rear of the building. Not sure if this is your personal take on things but I think making it protrude out the back at a curve would make for more interesting looking geometry and bring you closer to the source material.
2. The way the grass "infects" the world space in the reference image is really visually pleasing. I like the overgrown look of your scene but I think it would benefit by having weeds growing across the generator thingy on the left. Having different heights of grass would be helpful too in differentiating what areas have seen longer term vegetative growth. It would also allow you to make some areas more visible than others, channeling the viewers vision toward different elements on the screen.
3. I like the miniature tree growing behind the soldier in the ref pic, seeing that in your scene might help add some variation to it.
4. Background props against the walls like in the ref image would definitely help make the walls more interesting.
5. Realistically, what's holding that flag there? Giant thumb tacks? There are pillars on the second floor you could have it tied to!
Anyway, those are just some things I think you should consider to really help sell the scene as a real place. I like what you've done so far and I look forward to seeing more of your work!
