Nice setup! But you should choose another shader for the clothes, the highlights are way too hard. Cloth are shaded like rubber
Instead, you can look for velvet-like shaders or even Oren-Nayar, although it might be too rough (would go perfectly for the buildings, the asphalt, the cement, the rocks). Don't forget clothes have translucence, light passes through because they are thin.
If you want to shade it with your hands, you could have a little specularity up, to bring some highlights (clothes are not pure Lambertian surfaces I think), but the glossiness factor must be very very low.
I've found a good example of a well done cloth shading (it's not from me):

Take the time to study it. See how the cloth are not shining at all. They just diffuse the light in all directions (= Lambertian). It's because of the fabric of the cloth: you have plenty of tiny threads that will diffuse the light in all directions. A mirror is the extreme contrary: what comes at angle A leaves at angle A. Which explains highlights. I love shading theory
Rubber and other shiny surfaces have a much smoother, uniform state of surface (on the micrometer scale), which means they tend to reflect light progressively more like a mirror (= Blinn shader ; Dielectric and Conductor shaders work for transparent surfaces and metals, respectively).

As always, you are damn right my friend.
In this shot, I used a two sided velvet material for the clothes, and as you know, the velvet has a strong specular behavior if the light hits it with a certain angle.. unfortunately, it seems that I hit that angle with this picture.
Anyway, the point here is that most likely the velvet was not the best choice..
..as for the rubbers, I guess I could have used a SSS material but at that time I thought that it could have increased too much the render times. >.<;
Anyway, thanks a lot for your comment and for your help. As you know, I always appreciate and take in big consideration all your hints.

Ah indeed, so the velvet was not too good this time. Maybe there is a bunch of parameters to tinker with, I'm curious to see which are they. Maybe there is some kind of glossiness parameter or something... Well, sometimes, a good old Lambertian surface does the job just right
For the rubber: ok, well I wasn't criticizing the rubber in your scene, which I think is correct. I was actually continuing my explanation on who shades what 
Keep up the good work! There have been great improvements in your art lately!

WOW! Thanks a lot!
This is really an encouraging comment my friend. ^O^
I'm studying and practicing a lot (when I have time) and I'm very happy that the results of all this work can be seen by a pro like you!

PS: I'm not a pro, merely an amateur, but thanks^^

I totally agree, but the technique is the basic in order to show what I want to show exactly as I imagined it in my mind.
PS: Really?.. Wow! Judging by your observations, you really seem a pro! My best compliments!

Wow, thanks

You're welcome.
PS: well.. it seems that I'm totally "technology-dependant"

Well, I have some other works to do before restart to work on my project.
Have patience.

Thanks a lot!
I like to put an accent into the size differences and the little people are really useful for that.
