    Nice work!

    I think the issue with the rivers might be your choice of colour or rather the lightness of them and the treatment.

    They fight against the surround colours. You have mountains and such which, with their height comes lighter hues. The rivers are light blue so your brain can't arrange the order that you think should make sense

    Try a darker tone - but not too dark or they will stand out again like a silhouette

    as for the treatment, I mean they are of contrast to your coastline. If the looked more similar to the coastline (in their jaggedness than smooth ) then they would look more in harmony and would relate better. otehrwise you have a confilict of styles.

    In my tutorial I have a method for doing the rivers if you wanted to try that instead - or you could try Wilbur's rivers which I have found the best option. I used them on my Mythkhardia map - there's a link in my sig.

    Great first go though. Thanks for showing.
