Actually, a rather interesting use of scenery but as I imagine the map when I first see the title: I picture the islands up in the heavens with a sky blue background, clouds and a pretty sun. Although you map does portray the title rather decently, that's how I'd see it as.

At least you ought to take this map out of the depths of greenland and put it into the sky (make the background a bluer color with maybe a rocky floating island texture?).

I know all of my comments so far have only related to aesthetics and not design...

It being your first map doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to improve upon it.

It isn't that bad of a map for a first, I'll give you that. It's semi-unique, plus I can see that you took some time with the scenery to make it look a little more decent.

Try to make a couple slightly bigger and broader islands, while having some little islands like you have now still scattered about. So far, most of the islands don't look too inviting. They're all a bit small.

I like your ideas so far, and the fact that you've experimented like this (evidence of thus with your ctf_harbor). Good luck.

Edit:

Well...I forgot about your surprises. I just downloaded the map.

I played it a bit more, and I like your guard towers (if you made those ;)).

Also, your little island really inspired me to map some more. My latest map is going to be some islands in the pacific or something like that.

I would help you waypoint this whenever, but I'm not too great with waypointing maps like this...I could try sometime if you would like. :)
