ARGH!! but the damn compass be broken!! "

Overall it looks quite sharp. Very striking colours, and the idea of the background is really cool.
I find the scale bar difficult to read (black text on very dark background). The lettering in the first version also suffers from this a bit. I really like the compass rose -- nice colours and nice fill effect.
Lastly, I find there's something confusing for me about having such sparse tree-cover. Like, my brain is trying to interpret the individual trees as if they're individual trees, rather than be "representative of trees".
