So, here are my suggestions:
1) Smoothen the tops of the hills/mountains cause if they are pointy it looks odd.
2) add a bit of high variation to the water paths - a few tiny spots where the land goes above the water.
3)add more tile variation to the sandy island.
4) there is a place where you spam blizzard arches too closely one to another, I think you should rework that.
5)add a bit of dirt to the forest paths - the frequently used ones (if there are i mean).

Can you provide more information about the map?

I would also suggest to use different tree models as Sonofjay mentioned, they simply do not fit. Use some different elevation and smooth out the terrain.

That cave (if it is a cave) looks... well It just does not fit, use the rocks to make a cave entrance, the same ones you used to create the mountain.

On the 'ocean' terrains there is just too much foliage so of that should be deleted, its just too crowded. You can either delete some of them or place them in a better way.
