I think the render looks cool, although the willow itself doesn’t look as realistic as the rest of the image.
Maybe you could try adding more geometry to make the branches more soft and more realistic.

Thanks. Surprisingly, making the branches more complex didn’t add many minutes to the render (or kill the program completely):
