Oh i almost missed some feedback. Thank you. Overall response hasn't been very encouraging

I just noticed this thread. I wasn't reading it, since I don't use gimp myself and I thought that was what it was about. Something about the subject. I'm downloading it now though, and will get back to you with comments.

Hmm. Looks nice, though:

* The tree shadows give the impression the trees are floating over the map, because there is seperation between the trunks and the shadows. Same for the landmarks like skulls etc.

* The small lakes in northern Canada look a bit odd with the large 3D effect around them.

* I think maybe the trees should be even smaller and more numerous. The world map scale is so large that in some areas it looks off to see just a few trees on what is a very large area in the real world. The scale of the trees also clashes with the scale of the mountains.

* Some of the mountains on the west coast of South America are in the water.

* The Amazon river is a bit hard to see because of the trees.

* Texas and Arizona should probably be desert.

* The forest in South America should probably extend further south.

* Northern Canada and Alaska should probably be frozen type terrain.
