There are too many forest pictures on this site, so I went for something different.

Edit One: Moving Snow around
Edit Two: Changed Sky

Try using a few different variations of rock tile (lordaeron winter, fall, etc.) Using the rocky snow tile from the Northrend tileset would be an asset to the sides of the mountains, giving them a slightly more realistic touch. As for the sky, try a stormy-looking sky from the WE, or use MC's storm sphere model as a large scaled doodad.

All of the stone tiles have grass around the edges, so I used the stone path tile instead. I may try editing the stone tiles later.

I would have used that too, but those rocks have a blueish color. All mountains I've seen are gray.

For the sky, I may just actually take a picture of the sky and import it into Warcraft. Nothing could look more real than the real thing.

the snow seems a little bit randomly despersed, especially around the peaks.

''the snow seems a little bit randomly despersed, especially around the peaks.''

lol, so you're saying that snow is placed in the real life ?

And the peaks on the top left are to rough. Snow lays out smoothly.

I've moved around some tiles to make the snow look less randomly placed.

The sky and fog are awfull, the concept isnt bad. But noting impresive.

I changed the sky to Fogged Sky, which fits much better. I still don't see what is wrong with the fog.

The fog and sky is fitting.

The shrub things are a very lush green. Try changing the tint to make it fit to the enviorment.

Just a tip. Make the snow ground texture a layer above the other. So it would look like the snow lying on the rocks and not vice versa.
The rest is great.

It looks better now.

One suggestion... insert Village Rocks, or maybe Lordaeron Winter Rocks into your tileset, then make sure it's before the snow, and use that for some of the mountain detail... otherwise I likes! (Maybe some snow covered trees, too. Just a couple, don't spam.)

I like to see that you dont use the typical blizzard cliffes! Great job! But also one thing the snow on the mountains side seems a bit to randomly placed.
