Oh wow yeah this is WAY better. While i can see branches that may be similar, I don't immediately notice any identical shapes exactly. at the angles and rotations of the trees.
Maybe lean some trees? While your reference shows none, usually in forests you'll have leaning either dead, or uprooted trees, as well as some just leaning from softer topsoils as they age and their mass grows. Here in WA you really can't look into a forest at any direction and see nothing but straight trees. Though we don't have straight Pine forests, least not up this far north, more towards Oregon border and Rock and Shore pine forests.
Deer is a nice touch.
I tried to find one for my scene but they all were T-Pose (and often unrigged) and looked bad. Only low poly bear was actually posed and looked "alright".
