    If you opened up some holes in the forest canopy, I think they would seem less plateau-ish.

    I love the simplicity of your lines. They are clean and effective Many people think that a simple map is simple to do, sometimes they are significantly harder than more complex ones. You have a good eye for choosing what details are necessary.

    Hi all,

    Thanks for all the comments. I've been thinking about the shadow under the forest and i think i agree but to a mesure. This version shows a very dimished use of that effect that i hope will give a better sense of the forest.

    Unless there are major points, i think this one is done and i would thank everyone for their advice as it has improved my map immensely.

    I hope it deserves a place in these halls of cartography

    Thanks . I've tried cutting holes in the forest and the effect is very interesting. I will surely use that technique in other maps but for this one, since toning down the drop shadow effect a lot, i think the final results are pretty good.

    The final results are actually very good. This map is now very well done.
    I think it's cool that using the same software people can get totally different looking maps (comparing our maps for example).
