Really nice work ChickPea.
I don't mind that it's dark. You could make it pop a lot with some highlighting on the sun side of the mountains.
I also think you might have more 'page' there than you need for the map itself. Gives you maybe too much negative space.

That being said, I like your font choices and don't mind the size. The map is large enough to be able to read them.
You're progressing well ChickPea. This is a very attractive map.
