Lacks shading.
The water is out of place, a bit too bright.
Gameplay looks ok.

The two middle platforms I think should be made larger and moved a little bit higher, especially the one on the left.

I don't know what chutem means, the shading is just fine.

I have no problem with it, layoutwise, polywise, or the overall atmosphere, however it just seems like another "big oval with some platforms" dm map.

Yeah, this is alright for a second map, but you should experiment a little with the layouts some more.

Yup, rather generic. I'll call this a "learning map" for you.

Don't like the border of this map. Since all I deal with are aesthetically oriented things, those features are what I tend to see when I view a map. Be more creative with the borders.

Maybe there should be two stone buildings on each side, then some bridge connecting the two for the roof. On each side of the map beyond the stone towers, the terrain carries itself away from the player's view to make it look as though there is more than just some floating island in the sky. Realism ;)

Make the player wish they could get outside of their bounds to see more, and only then will you have succeeded in aesthetics. Just food for thought.
