Looks good, think there could be some more contrast on the grass/cave tiles though.

Very well done! But, it'll be imperative to give the dirt and dungeon walls different textures. If you don't it make the art look less well done and varied; which is what you want.

I would make the elevated grass a different color, perhaps more yellowish.  By giving an additional visual cue, it makes it easier for the player to tell the levels apart.

No, its still not right. If i were you, I wouldn't use those rocks at all for your grassland. Just make up a dirt texture and show us how it looks.

I dunno if I'm just a weirdo, but when I blur my vision they look fine, but as soon as my eyes return back to normal focus they seem too detailed. Dumb down the amount of things going on, don't texture quite as much, and they should be great!

There's my two cents, sorry if it isn't terribly helpful...

I can't tell what's going on ??? It looks like a bunch of rectangles mishmoshed together. I like the new texture you have on the cliffs, but it would be better if the platform surfaces were the brightest part (your light source is from the top, so why are the cliff faces so brightly lit?) and the little green platforms were used much more sparingly. Actually I think that's what's making the cliffs look so bright ...

Also man, the cliffs are way too square/rectangley. Make them rounded or diagonal like they did in SoM. It gives it a much more natural feel. Same on the bottom corners of the cliffs and the vertical/horizontal sides. Nature is not perfectly square.

is this any better? i think its a bit more round and naturual and the lighting should be fixed.(http://img573.imageshack.us/img573/3335/capturesz.png)

That tree is nice except for one thing.  It looks like stairs.  Take the middle clump of leaves and bring it to the front and make it 2-3 times as big so that it overlaps all of the clumps that it touches, especially the clump above it and the two clumps below it.  That should make it look round instead of like stairs.
