This is my first try at making a melee map, and I don't think it's too bad, although I'm worried about Terran imbalances. So please comment--I'd like to refine my map-making skills.

UPDATES:
1.1--Added another ramp to each base and made the side areas walkable.

Protoss needs more room to flank against in a PvT, I'd suggest adding extra mineral patches to the expansions, seeing as there are so few, I'm not sure about this but terran might be able to lift tanks behind the mains' minerals, the mineral layout on the right side in the center is a little funky, and you've got major gas issues. The gas should always be either above or to the left of where the cc/hatch/nexus will go. Not bad for your first try though, a hell lot better than mine 
Oh, and what program did you use to take that picture? Its pretty damn big.

I'll change that stuff, and I used SCMDraft's Save Image feature. Apparently there's something else that does it better, but I'm not sure what...
EDIT: Found it! Updating the screenshot and map in the first post.

Map sizes such as this do not provide enough room unless you use basically the entire thing. After the main, you have small chokes to the middle in which terran can dominate P or Z.
I don't know if there is enough room for this to be playable unless you make the sides that are lava all walkable and flanking/ expo room.
Even then the map will be quite packed.
Not bad on basic concepts though try again.

I don't know... not many people can play terran more than massing tanks and nuke drops. I think 5 pool can pull off a T bash.

You must play some really really bad terran players.

Actually hes right, terran players I play are only beat me on LT. Any other map they usually don't play as well it seems to me.

I personally don't like the choke but hey maybe its just me.

Its way too cramped which will be extremely hard for z in ZvT as well as P in PvT. i suggest redoing it and making it a bigger map size.

Right idea to open, however still some issues.
Making the map more symmetrical will balance some (the middle). There shouldn't be more than one entrance to a main base. Add more expansions, and limit expansion's mineral count.
How bout a little decoration?
