"Left-Justified" Continent

[NedS298]

I'm really not even sure if this is a continent... I don't know how big it is, I'm just going with it. I started off by studying a map of middle-earth to see what made the map "click", in a sense; I used the major elements, such as colours and saturations, landforms, etc., though in the end I felt it was too close to the original. I'm still not disappointed with the results so far. Tell me what you think:

Black and white map:


Coloured:


Started adding mountains:


Don't be shy.

Edit: I wanted to include a little backstory, just forgot. I've never included a backstory as such for my map. Since I was trying to exmine cliches in fantasy I thought up a nice narrative to go along with it. Drawing upon CS Lewis's Christian themes and Tolkien's elves, I thought, what if the holy land referred to heaven? So, the God, Saljorar, frees his people from the grasps of the old empire, ruled by the evil God (haven't thought of a name yet, and this is fantasy! everyone's either good or evil). He then sends them out of the desert and across the sea to the little islands on the bottom left corner, his own kingdom, and rewards them for their faith to him by giving them superhuman abilities. Now we have "elves". However, these elves are really just people too, with all the same imperfections, and they get arrogant and become a bit of a mixed bag of evil and good. Everyone still thinks they're great, though, because they stayed faithful to "Saljorar". Then various problems arise because Saljorar and his people have left the world, then there's some kind of showdown between the... supposedly evil God and the... supposedly good God. Massive fantasy battle/s. War. Awesome. Good triumphs over evil (or does it?) That's where I'm at so far; I was just having some fun, hope you guys had some fun reading it.
