I actually rather like that look, other than the blocked section on each end which does not look quite right for some reason(though it's not that bad).

Torq, I love the trees you added between the two versions. It really helps to make the whole thing pop.


On the down side, you have shadows for all your trees and buildings, but you bridges are flat on the water. Should be a quick fix though.

Also, even though the farmland background looks better blown up in size, I really don't think it goes with this map. The reason why at that they are all blurry while your city building lines are super sharp and clear. To me it just tends to stick out rather than blend into the background as I would expect. Again, based on scale, the fields should be fairly well visible at this altitude, especially when contrasted with the buildings and trees directly over top of some of them.
