Very nice mountains. It is rare to see this very realistic top down style. You were using Wilbur ? Personnally I like your forests too, they look like forests in satellite pictures. Perhaps make a decreasing density towards the edge and a few smaller copses in the transition area from forest to plain.
I would also agree with Sapiento that the color tone for the land is a bit too strong .
The mountains are made in Photoshop from scratch. I use a special brush and a quite complicated layer style.
I am trying to find a good coherent style - not too realistic. I am not there yet though.
Two more tests. One at 79 % the other one at about 20%..

Looking good Carnifex. Also, don't forget to add the WIP tags to this so that the image gets picked up in the thumbnails.
Cheers,

Another update. A LOT more work to do but would still like some feedback to see if I can improve the style.

Overall, very nice, although personally I find the blue of the oceans awfully bright.
I am not really qualified to criticize anything so I have only one question.
Why are the rivers so large ? Just eyeballing and comparing them to the mountains' size they are some 10 - 20 km large what is quite unusual.
