What if you tried a lighter brown or a green tint?

The colors and the grass really make it pop! The blue is a little bright but not bad, I would just drop the color saturation a little. Looking great, and I haven't even started mine yet.

Will do, thanks for the suggestion. I'm worried about the time because I will travel (and freeze to death, never saw snow) to eastern Europe in a few days.
On the contrary, criticism is how I improve, its essential
You are SO very right, that's whats bothering me! The problem is, as I first intended the slope should remain more-or-less flat once the hill had finished, and the boulder would change the river course (but maybe not that dramatically on real life) for a while, until the river eroded the landslide and returned to its original course. But due to a few unfortunate decisions it does give the impression that it starts to climb again just before the boulder, making a sort of 'U' shape.
I believe that the culprits are the following:
- The bolder fell at an angle, not perpendicular to the viewer (check the mini-map on top) so the oblique path helps to create the wrong slope impression.
- The small branch of water just above the temple is also at an angle, supporting it even further.
I think that the way to fix it would be to try to make those straighter, but that would mean a huge rework on the map :\ I'll try my hand at that tomorrow.
Thanks for pointing it out!
And let me second that!
Oh, that's 100 times better already
I want to go there!
If I can nitpick? The bend in the river above the goblin road also looks like it might spill over. That could just be the light/shading, though.
It's really looking good I was considering joining the contest but now I'm hesitating a bit.
