I usually tend to prefer maps that are firmly in the 'fantasy' category, but this is quite outstanding. Congrats on a well-deserved Cartographer's Choice!

Pasis is an old hand when it comes to rich photorealistic maps. He's written several very helpful tutorials over the years (a couple of which he's received awards for) uncovering some of his methods. His skill is evident writ large in this fantastic piece. The rugged hills and cliffs, textured forests and pristine water all look so lifelike, and yet stylized. The towns are very well done too, and the foam on the water is spot on. For those working in the photorealistic style this map ought to serve as a good piece of inspiration.
