[.mitsuki]

Picture One.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Picture One: Very bland. Needs more environmental doodads on that grass, A LOT of more tiles(dirt, rocks, grassy dirt, darker grass...), etc. Your height variation seems fine and at least you didn't use Blizzard water. You have grass growing inside the water, which is unrealistic. Your river just suddenly ends at one point - makes absolutely no sense. Either make it a big pond\sea\lake\whatever, or extend the river to the end of the map. Your river also seems somewhat shallow.

Picture Two: The waterfalls make no sense whatsoever. They are coming out of a ROCK, and the rock itself is a big, random slob. I suggest you to Google "Waterfall" and look at what waterfalls really are. :/
Hint: They're NOT random streams of water magically coming out of pure rock cliffs. So please, add a river or in general, a source of water that carries the water to those... Waterfalls. And seriously, remove those weird slabs of rock, they make no sense.
Asides from that your terrain is very bland. It is flat, has only one type of doodad, uses only one tile etc. I could only suggest you to look at terraining tutorials and learn from them.

What a realistic waterfall you got there.

Indeed.

I strongly suggest you to take a look at the tutorial section.

And seeing your try, I guess this tut fits your need best: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/various-terraining-tips-144074/

Picture 1: Its emty put som shurbs a tree and more in it. Also try to use more tiles

Picture 2: Looks like those waterfalls are coming out of cliffs i would suggest you to look for a tutorial about waterfalls or look at som terrains that have waterfalls in them could also be helpfull.

Thanks for the reference, but I am not sure either how this is going to help here.

I can only subscribe to Debodes opinion, there must be a river or a well or sth. like this. You can use the fountain of life model for a good well or simply make a river.
You can take a look here for making a river or here for waterfalls.

Another suggestion is browse through the terrain-galleries and look at some artwork from other members. But dont get yourself intimidated, there are really epic pics (which are half as epic if you know how to make them). Could be inspiring to see the work of others...
