Psssh, big....it's only 9 megs =P
First you need to fix the minerals, mix it up a bit with diferent patches, and don't make so many stright mineral lines. The center is kinda T heavy right now, widen it up a bit on the high platform.
The natural expansions with 5 minerals (the ones right besie base) should be more like 8 minerals, although the expo on the island is arlihgt at 5 minerals cause it's easier to protect. But I think the whole thing is too protected maybe a side path leading from the middle platform over to the expo islands, so there are 2 entrances to the base?
And gas in main bases should always be to the top or left of bases, ahving them to the bottom and right makes the miners mine slower and you have to get 4 miners on that, so it is a disadvantage to people who don't know about it.
edit...
Oh, I was typing this while you where getting second image up, but you didn't really fix the straight line minerals.... And now the image is way too small =P, should atleast fill up screen. modified by Syrreph

the whole map is just so small and thin, terran will rape everything
think about race balance plz when making a map.

take out high ground mid.
Make the ramp from the expo at 8 so it opens more towards the mid like the other.
put min blocks in air expo by each main, terran can float a cc too easily.

jpg is the way to go. To convert images fast and easily to other formats, use for example Irfan View (freeware):

This map has some style, but the middle is much much too tight. Open it up a lot.
