Better than anything I could produce offhandly... but you also should 
take into account the gradual change of vegetation towards the poles - 
an island of lush green enclosed by polar sea ice is highly 
unbelievable, one would instead expect pale greenish-gray tundra there 
(spotted with small lakes from recent glaciation)! Perhaps you should 
take a look at the Blue Marble mosaics 
(http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view_set.php?categoryID=2363)  for the 
colors of vegetation in different climate zones (also at different 
seasons!)...

And I also miss mountain ranges on your planet, i. e. streaks of rocky 
gray terrain...

The whole thing is also very interesting to me, as I myself started 
POV-Ray projects involving "planet design" - PoVSolar, the 
Whatmough/Port Whatmough 2353 scenario and the Shams 
System/Qais/Ghurghusht scenario - perhaps we might join forces in 
certain aspects of our works?

See you in Khyberspace!
