The tiles look nice, except they could do with some better shading. Everything looks too flat.
If you look at the official tiles, you'll see that they're based on sunlight coming in from the left (west). This means cliff faces facing west are brighter than the ones facing west, and that trees are brighter on the left than the right (i.e. the right sides are in shade).
I think you'd benefit from more types of grass tile, too. At the moment you've only got one, which has tufts of grass in the top-left and bottom-right corners. Mix it up a bit, and you won't have such a grid-like field.
