    Good map overall, but i have to agree about the lake who seems to be protruding...

    Keep in view that, without indication about the origin of the lightsource, the mind will pretend that light comes from top, and in the case of your map, this places the lake above the ground. I made a quick example of what everybody (including me) expected to see.

    Light from top cast shadows on the rims that dive into the lake. Your river seems affected by the same problem (water above the ground), because shadows seems casted randomly ; if your lightsource comes from the bottom of the image, we need some indication of that to fully apprehend your map.
