It lacks the atmosphere that the card picture has and the effect. The palms should be more bent, and they are out of proportion with the rest. In the real picture, to me it looks like the island is like 20 feet away from the first palm tree, so instead of just scaling stuff down, put it a bit further back too. Or maybe zoom out and make everything bigger.

The palms need to be bent. The middle trees need to be the same color as the picture, and the rocks need work. Place more shrubs around them.

Make the island go farther into the distance. It ends too quick. Also add a white distance fog.
