Well I was finally able to get back to this and get a bit more done on it. I'm pretty happy with it so far.

One thing that I am having a hard time with is seeing the "depth" of the map. I can't tell if it is a hill or a crag. By your initial post, it is a crag. I just can't see a sense of the depth.
Other than that it is a great looking map.

Thanks..and I agree with you, it didn't turn out quite as good as I had hoped. Anyone have suggestions on what I can do to give it more "depth"?.

My suggestion would be to make the first drop (from the grass to the first step) more sharply cut. Also, maybe if the water at the bottom was a little bit darker/shadowed by the cliffs around it. Finally, maybe have all the shadows fall in one direction, and at a greater distance to capture the feel that the craig is 100's of feet deep. I guess in summary: shadows are your friend.

Allrighty then, I think I'm done with this one. I've tried to make it appear that it has more "depth" than the last version I uploaded. Hopefully I succeeded.
I added some trees, roads, paths (on the lowest level), more buildings and other items. Enjoy!

Wow, that made a huge difference!!!!
The new one looks much better, the depth is much more obvious. Not sure on the color difference between the walls/side and the bottom, it is a bit jarring, but I can clearly see what is going on and that is what is important.
Yeah I know what you mean, I played around with the colors for a couple of hours last night, and couldn't get anything I really liked so I went with deepening the shadows, etc.

Nice, this map gives me Ideas.
And as my players would say, "that can be dangerous".
