Nice composition!  I only listened to the second version but I think the reverb level is pretty good.
 
As far as adding realism goes, that's usually outside of what you played into SONAR.   I'd recommend splitting your strings into separate MIDI tracks and using a combination of Modulation (GPO uses this for volume) and Pitch CCs and possibly the track MIDI Volume as well on the individual parts.  That way you can get each part to breathe a little more (as Robbie noted) without having the entire section follow the same pattern.

Thanks for the listening and tips.
Something like that I've tried to do. In the Sonar strings have their own tracks and I've done own settings for them. Difficult to get software strings sounds like real

Oh, I hear ya.      I've found in some cases that over-exaggerating the intended result can sometimes work better in context since everything is based on static samples.  Trial and error and all that.

It doesnt sound like the real deal but at the end of the day it doesnt really matter,
 
the composition sounds great.
 
Dunno what religion you are but you should get the local fiddle crew to flake out a version of it at church :-)

Very nice arrangement. I think the trick in adding realism might be to simply change a few velocities and lessen the degree of vibrato, maybe some very small timing changes ( nudge ever so lightly)...a really fine piece of music though!

hmm.. I guess there is some variety on velocity and timing, 'cause I played every instrument with velocity-sensitive keyboards, and I didn't use quantize in Sonar tracks
