I think I liked it better dark; the over-saturated colors in the water are fighting now (at least on my screen)... or maybe it's just that you cropped out the border and land under it. The style in general looks good, S. Rough dark ink and color wash. It works for you. The only thing that gets lost a bit is the higher peaks where you've washed over the ridges... difficult to see... you might erase/mask off the ink wash a bit in those places.

Good to see you around and mapping.
