looks great so far, but I think you could use some more contrast and make the shadow areas darker. Especially on the blue roof part cause that part you cant really see the shadow. The red tiling has good contrast Id just like to see it elsewhere too. Here is a not very good edit I did for you to see it with a little more contrast

(ya I know I sort of made it look like there are vines growing on it by mistake)

The grey bricks seem flat but I really like what you did on the ground in front of the two closed doors... really nice texture.

the area between the first building you colored and the one with the rounded top is becoming a little problematic, the shadow on the round thing is kind of melding with the shadow behind it, you need to do something to pop that rounded top building out from the stuff behind it. You still seem a little hesitant about contrast in some places and some of the darker areas namely the red tiles and black rails on the windows seem a little out of place because of it. Looks good though, could just use a little tweaking in my opinion.

The lines in the water make it look like the walls of a deep pit - it looks like that little circle is just hanging over emptyness - maybe break up some of the lines a little, I'm not sure how to explain it really I just know it looks odd.

I like what you did with the palm trees, not a palette choice I would have expected but it really works.

I would have used a greener tone for the palm.
top roofs are way too dark imho.
