First serious attempt at a map

[Francissimo]

That's better now i can really see your map and.. it's really good! The ocean texture is original and unusual and works well for me, and again really nice borders, even more with such an inspiration A few things can be improved according to me (completly normal for a first map!) Your bevel effect on lands is a bit too strong, that's visible on your smallest rivers that are a bit too dark. I would also have hide the lines that starts from your north arrow on the lands, letting them visible only on water. Those are minors details on a good map, i wish my first map was as good as this one, hope to see more of your work soon!

Thanks for all the input! I really appreciate it. Though this is my first map that I've put serious effort into, I did already have a fairly good grasp of a lot of PS techniques for these sorts of projects. And I agree on the bevel effect, but it never crossed my mind to just lower it a bit. I wanted my rivers to be even thinner at the source, but they'd just be a black line at that point. Lowering the bevel will probably help that a lot, so I will definitely give that a try, thanks!
