Thats looking very good, but maybe too dark of a sky for the effect you want? The scene reflects that also.

I personally use a Skylight with Light Tracer enabled, and for a scene like that, you may want to up the Skylight multiplier a slight bit.

For faster renders, I would put Bounces to 1, and change the Rays/Sample to about 25/50. For bigger scenes you won't notice the dotting you can get on some scenes. Its alot faster than the default 250 as well.

Thats the only light I would use anyway. I've tried using the Sun light, etc, in Photometric lights, but it doesn't give the desired effect what so ever to me.
