From the two pictures I think it looks better without mud. But you might be able to work on the mud effect to make it look more convincing. If the ruins have been rained on and caked with mud, then none of the floor would have that crisp grey look. Try dry brushing all over the floor with your mod color until not much of the grey is showing. There are too many clean spots right now.
Adding to the mud effect might help tie the floor in with the walls. Right now they don't quite look like they're part of the same building. I do think the floor looks quite striking, so you may want to try doing something to the walls to help them match the floor.
... just my two bits. Your piece looks awesome for your first piece of terrain!
