First world map attempt. Would love some critiques

[jakichan32]

Hey guys, here is my first attempt at a map. Got it to somewhere where I was happy enough with the current look to share. Would love any feedback you guys have about anything! Trying to decided if the area between the three lakes near the bottom look like a marsh, if not how could I go about making that look better. And trying to decided what to do with the few open plains I have and maybe how to better texture the water.

One thing I've read and will be incorporating into my map, is for the coastal water lines (waves or whatever), to break them up a bit, at least in the second row. Yours is one continuous unbroken line. If you took your water shore outlines and made them progressively more spotty in the outer rings I think it'd look more natural.

I noticed that the details, when viewed close up, have a very distinct style that doesn't match the coastline that you've drawn in. They look like stamps and even their resolution changes where you resized them. I also would expect the trees to be bundled tightly together and appear more as a blob but this could just be a design choice by you (or a sparse forest). Having the trees placed individually makes the mountains seem more like just sharp hills in comparison. Again, this could just be a design choice and what makes maps very charming.
