Grass objects are distributed on different layers - the key to realistic grass is using blades of different size and kind.

The whole scene is put in a box with VrayEnvironmentFog, so we can add atmosphere.

Paper lamp material is quite sophisticated - it's VrayBlend material and both base and coat materials are Vray 2-sided materials, which gives us 4 submaterials for a paper of a lamp. Both 2-sided materials are blended with VrayDirt map.

Photoshop layers. In final render we got a little bit of noise on a tree on the right, we got rid of it with blurry layer. the next layer sharpens the image. Reflection and specular layers give more shine to the grass and pavement, which greatly improves realism. Fog layer is VrayEnvironmentFog pass that addas the atmosphere. Color balance to get rid of unwanted blue tones, curves for greater contrast. "V" layer is vignette.
