    I like the graphics very much.
    This map should be completed by your hand under all circumstances.

    More snow of the same might not be the solution though.
    So I don't know if more snow was the best advice.
    In real maps it is used very scarcely for zones where really is everlasting ice in summer and only if the map is big enough for it.
    Keep in mind that the snow areas disturbs the map information about landform configuration.
    The linear form of your snow areas looks far to artistic to be real. I would suggest to use the snow less regularly and linear.

    The desert color contrasts not enough with the snow. A more yellowish color could be better.

    Often the darker green is zones of lower altitudes than light green in real maps I know.
    The color indicates the elevation an ranges from dark green at coast areas, lighter greens and sand to light brown and a more reddish darker brown for high mountain ranges.
    I don't think that you had this in mind, but your map looks a bit like that. It has a very realistic touch, but at a closer look it doesn't. That kind of disturbes me.
