I'm not quite sure, is the viewpoint meant to be looking 'down' the valley from what looks like a lake in the foreground to the sea in the top left? those mountains on the right confuse it for me a little. Really nice work though
Thanks for the advice! I played around with it, and it helped a lot.
I think I'm done. There's a version with, and one without colours. I'm probably gonna go with the coloured one, but I'll post both of them here.

Like a.coldyman i Think in the earlier works that the front water surface was a sea and was worried with the floudings of some rivers. But with this last additions i realise that it was a lake and the back water surface a sea. I'm fan of this pictural map ! All the lines work make really feel the relief of the region. Really beautifull.
Yeah, regarding the river ... I never planned much of this drawing. At first I did mean it to flow to the front, but I saw that didn't make much sense at all. Tried to change the direction somehow, but by then it was a bit late to pull it off convincingly. It still doesn't look very realistic. I just went "oh, let's do a river and some mountains!".
Hard to decide which one's better! I like the overall tone of the first one, but the second one has perfectly delineated the buildings, which honestly I did not notice in the first picture. Keep on the good work!

This is cool BD. I think I'd go for the color one as well just because it pops more but the monochrome one looks fantastic too.

My vote's for the color one also. I can't really say anything that all these other kind folks haven't already said, so I'll just leave this here:
You gave me a mapgasm.
I vote color.
