Zion national park

[Francissimo]

Hey everyone
Here's a map i did of the zion national park. For this one and thanks to Blindblake advise, i tried to use texture shading techniques to depict topography. The map is a combination of qgis, photoshop and a soft that helps to apply texture shading effect on elevation data.

This is amazing! I looks just like a satellite picture!

Pretty impressive

I think you may just have found the solution to drawing top down forests of enormous size!

Wow, this is impressive! The colors are wonderful, and I love those trees. Thanks for sharing.

Really terrific!
I'm always fascinated by your satellite-style maps. And the Zion National Park is a so dreamful choice...

Very nice map! I love the general feeling and the sense of the topography/colors.
I have a few nitpicks : some labels are a bit hard to read, imo... And I'm wondering how it would look with multiply effect or some transparency for the roads.

Although satellite style maps are not my favourite kind, this is very well done! You're the GIS master!

Will rep if I can.

Thanks for the feedback, advices and rep!
About labels i originaly worked with twice the resolution for the map but i had to reduce the size of the final file, so they are not as legible as i intend to
