Thanks a lot Mouse,
Thanks too, Snodsy... for your ideas and for the rep !
I'll try all of your suggestions right now !
Update of the map tonight.
Jo, this is really outstanding lots of really good things going on.
The forest, is so beautifully done, the shadowing/light especially and the variation in the foliage well done, this immediately caught my eye and is one of the best forest I've seen, however it is a little bit different style than the mountains when zoomed in?
The city icon could have a shadow to blend them into the landscape.
Maybe one or more outer rings on the coastline and then either fade or break them as they go offshore?
You've added a bevel along the river - but at the Delta, maybe that isn't beveled since it would be a very low laying area?
TYPE -Outer glow may be a bit much? I'm not a fan of slanted/angled type, but that a personal issue
Your cliffs at Mardale is really nice, maybe another?
If that a glacier right of Marrair? If so, maybe some snow capped peaks and shadow sides of mountain slopes?
Have some reps

Hey Jo
You're really on the home straits now. Its all looking really great. There are just a couple of things about the labels I noticed.
The biggest thing is that unless you are going to put something else in the title scroll (like more words or a decoration of some kind) it might be as well to place the wording in the centre of the scroll vertically, so that there isn't such a noticeable gap beneath it - make it same gap top and bottom, or thereabouts.
The other thing... and this may just be that its in French so I have to work to read the names anyway... but I'm finding it a bit difficult to read that particular font, especially when its against the mountainous backgrounds. You might want to wait to see what other people think, however, because I have been criticised for my own choices of font in the past, so I know that I am no great expert on the matter
Thanks !
I know it's not really Easy to read, but it's not a font, it's a writing that I've learned... So I'm using it just becaus I like it... I'm not sure I'll change even considering future comments... I'm very fond of the aspect of
It...

Oops - sorry Jo
Well - I did say I wasn't an expert
No need to be sorry, after all that means that I haven't lost too much of my skills in calligraphy ;-)
Its a very impressive 'font'. LOL
I wish I could do calligraphy - then I wouldn't have to spend hours and hours looking for the right font for my maps - and then never getting one that's 'just right'
