This is one nice map Jez,
I agree that the forest need a bit of work and land feaures need to stand out more. I always try to make important information on a map stand out so the user don't need to shrink his eyes to see what is important to se. A map is not just a piece of art that looks nice, it has to easy to understand and read

If you keep playing with gradient maps, you might want to look over this article about hypsometric tints.
It's an approach I'd like to explore eventually, but I haven't found the time to play with it or had a map project to use it on.

Great first challenge entry jezelf. I love your river erosion. Its some of the best I've seen, particulalry in the swampy areas. I also love Wilbur but I can never get it to behave in a controlled manner like that. Well done and may this be the first of many challenges for you.

That is a FANTABULOUS map! Really!
I know I would love to see a more detailed tut on how to do it, especially the initial wokr to bring it INTO Wilbur.
Good Job. Have some rep!
