I like this forest version much better, you might consider trying a slight drop shadow on it as well.

It's looking good, and a good update on the RobA style to make your own. However, I'm not digging on the sea texture, personally. Not a lot of good ideas on what you could do to fix it, but there's something about it that seems off to me.
I think, therefore I am a nerd.

Finished
The drop shadow on the forest was very good advice, looks much better now, so I put also a slight drop shadow on the towns.
For the sea I will try a different texture next time. I changed hue and saturation a bit: It matches the overall colour scheme better now I think.
I added more labels, compass rose and a border. From my pont of view it's finished. Do you have any more suggestions?
The change on the seas is definitely an improvement. I'm still not a huge fan of the texture, but the coloring choice made here mititgates that significantly overall, so it looks good.
