Now that I see it tiled, I don't quite know if that grass feels okay. Maybe some more dithering in a slightly asymmetric pattern between the darkest/second darkest shades to give it a bit more of a grassy look.
Additionally, for the stone ball atop the gate-pillar, maybe tone down how far around the edge of the ball that 'highlight' is going, doesn't feel or look so great for a sphere-shaped object. Infact, probably try removing it altogether?
As for the gate itself, it looks okay. Maybe redo the highlight to have just a bit less of the brightest shade along that curve (and the reverse for the bottom curve) so the shading isn't just following the line you've drawn. Should be able to give it a /little/ feeling of depth that way.
Aside from that, as I've been saying in private, very good progression. I also quite like the HUD elements so far, but you might need to make the health more distinctive somehow. I feel the health should be in the middle of the screen, not in the upper right, since players eyes will be centered on the middle of the screen, and it'll be easier to look up there, rather than to the corner.
