so it's nice work.
I have no experience with 3D tools, so hats off to you for the diligence to learn Hammer; and you're evidently quick and efficient with it.
but...
your proportions are off.
- the diving platform's vertical pillars are too squat (compressed vertically; too thick in cross-section); the platforms themselves are too thick in the vertical plane
- the pool is only about 60% of the correct width (which is why you've an entire vertical column missing from the pool's surrounding windows, in the left to right plane.
- the photo has huge amounts of blue tone in the concrete surfaces that's absent from your stonework and shadow; quite apart from the green content that's missing too, given the absent vegetation.
if you're thinking about this as a potentially strong portfolio piece to show your modelling skills, I'd agree; but I'd also give some thought to punching up these aspects. probably a small increment of extra effort would pay off with a much better reproduction.
