That's an interesting looking technique for representing mountains. And it looks like there's much potential. Going to keep an eye on this thread

I'm not sure why it wont let me upload the larger image, but I use a site called zoomorama which is great for hi-res images. Its a flash based zooming app.
Here is the full 7500x7500 image.

I will up better compression jpegs in the future.
Lord-
from the "we really have to get this FAQ posted some day" on uploading images:
-Rob A>Limitations
Unfortunately, there are also a couple of limitations. The first is file sizes. The following is a list of the file size limits:
bmp - 7.63 MB
gif - 7.63 MB
jpg - 4.77 MB
png - 4.77 MB
The second limit is the actual image size. The image must be less than 30 megapixels in actual size. If you try to upload a 6000x6000 jpeg that has a file size of only 1MB, it will fail (sometimes with a blank screen, sometimes with a database error depending on the actual size...) as it is 36 megapixels. This limitation is being worked on, and will hopefully be resolved soon.
To show of images larger than this, you will have to use an off-site image hosting service and provide a link.

### Latest WIP ###
I like the painterly feel on the mountains, reminds me of Bob Ross and his happy lil hills. Might darken the trees though, they look a bit bright or plasticy. Otherwise, nice work so far.

Looks good so far. The Marsh and Forest are a little difficult to distinguish to me.
