I like the one on the right better overall, but not because of the forest, if that makes sense. It's the rivers.
The left looks better by a bit for the forest itself, but the rivers look like they're sitting on top of it. On the right, the rivers look more inset, which I tend to like better. I also like the darker green.
However, if you beveled the rivers a little bit, I'd probably switch my opinion to the left, because the texture is indeed nice.
I mixed the two;
Adding a second splattering of a second shade of green, motion blurred it straight up a little and re-bump mapped the layer. I then turned the texture layer to overlay and slid it under the bump mapped layer to add that green underglow look. What do you guys think... better?
Yes, I like this third one better. Nice job on the rivers by the way. Though you did leave me wondering if the river coming down from the mountain with the castle icon on it (center-left) going to the smaller lake is supposed to have that discontinuity in it.
Yes, the third one gives a nice best-of-both effect.
