Relax, we're not trying to bash you or anything. He might not have taken a long enough look at your map before judging. The town placement in the west is a small similarity, but it is a good place to put the town. Plus, there's not really any place you can put the beach except in the south.
One comment I would like to make, though, is the area where the volcano area meets the grassland. There should probably be a lot less plantlife near the lava, since it would naturally burn or otherwise wilt the life nearby. Not to mention the bright green to dark red transition is a little harsh on the eyes. I recommend either using dirt and rock tiles, or changing the palette to a brown. You can use wilted trees like in the graveyard, too, instead of the normal healthy trees. This should make the landscape look more natural.
