I'd suggest working on the cliffs -- the perspective at the 45 and 135 degree edges is rather wacky. It's hard to distinguish between the path and the (what I think is) grass in the village. The houses also look rather... skinny. I'd venture to say for at least that larger building in the village, you want to show a better sense of dimension, as it looks awkwardly thin -- you could fix this by showing more of the roof's top. The ladder in the second screen-portion is rather out of proportion of the rest of the environment, and seems out of place as a result. There is a LOT of banding in the water tiles, making them very harsh on the eyes (this effect grows harsher at higher pixel sizes.) Also, the village looks incredibly sparse -- no trees, signs, bushes, other minuscule landmarks? Adding some flair to the map's design results in a much more appealing sight for the player.
