Much more than ok!
The mix of photographic and standard height-mapping is slightly odd, but I like it! Your labelling is really nice too!
Well done finishing a map too!
Oh hai.
This is map. Yeah, so...
Tried copying that map style you see on Wikipedia sometimes. Did kinda okay, I guess.
Actually managed to finish a map for once. Probably not gonna happen again anytime soon.
Well, that's about it.

I like it, it's really clean and modern looking. I also think I've seen some relief used on those style maps before too. Looks great!
Nicely Done!

Very cool map! Is there a step-by-step of this one being made?

Absolutely brilliant! Really clear and modern looking. Great stuff.
I am trying to do a similar thing at the moment. You've inspired me to make a few changes to mine.
Grand! That looks like a fine map!

I'd sure like to make a tut for this style, but with IRL looking like it does right now, that's probably not gonna happen. But really, it is a pretty easy style. The only element that's a little tricky is the relief and even that is not that hard. New layer->layer mask->bevel and emboss (play a bit with the settings)->draw in the mask with a 20% opacity brush. Almost everything else is made by drawing with paths, the land, the color-codes, the rivers, roads, etc.
Oh yeah, and thanks for the nice words, everybody.
I love it. You've got some sharp skills there!
Yesterday today was tomorrow.
