Welcome from a fellow Niagara resident, Josh!

You got a nice start on the map in terms of layout and composition (and I especially like the mountain texture).

RP's comments are all good ones (especially the rivers, you have a nice 3D-wire/tube effect happening there). In general keeping the layer effects subtle seems to work the best.

One small note, is the lighting direction on the mountain texture (NW)and all the other bevel/embosses (E) disagree. And lighting from the E is unique, as most people stick with the default NW

Thanks for including a map in your first post, too. Some seem shy to show their work, but it is a great way to jump into the community.
