That said it still an amazing piece of work.
First off, this is no doubt a masterfully crafted piece. However I tend to agree that the map tends to feel a bit busy and that the features seem a bit indistinct. I think this is due to a lack of shading which would add more depth to the piece. Still, it is a lovely piece.
