Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

I'd decrease the opacity of the rhumb lines abit though. Also for the colored mountains, you should try to add some highlightning on the left sides to avoid the full flat brown mountains and to keep the nice shading job Ramah did on them. The border looks cool, maybe abit too clean (and the bevel and emboss effect on the corners looks too much digital and really clash with the overall map). Hope it helps.
