Unless you particularly want the hangman's head to feature quite strongly in the finished map, it might be as well to increase the distance over which the deepest blue is feathered(?) (hope I've use the right term!) I agree with Storm (Ladiestorm) that the shift between the different colours of your ocean is just a little stepped, and might look better if you achieved a smoother tonal blend from beach to deep.

Other than that, its all looking really splendid. I hope you are feeling suitably pleased with yourself
yeah, I am definitely having fun with this. Doing all the testing/practice with the pen&tablet as I try to figure the best way to conquer the sea. I actually tried to fade all of those layers to invisible thinking it would flow together. It didn't. Not well at least. I'll get it figured out tonight hopefully. close. The cays are proving a bit more challenging, but I'll get them too!

Thanks for everything Mouse, appreciate everything!
