This is looking good, but I do think the wood needs to have its edges stronger in the albedo, some times its hard to see the shape. And maybe add more AO ?
I love everything about this, consider me inspired. The only bit I think could use some improvement is the smoke. It's not bad, but it stands out compared to the rest, because it is more abstract than the other elements.

Still have to paint the ground plane + new smoke
