I really like the grass in the foreground and the puffy clouds. I don't know
about the colour. It seems to be a bit too bright green, but that might be part
of the story. 
The mountain tops aren't really to bright, it's more the region just below that
seems to be a bit too dark.
My main suggestion would be to make the hills a bit less uniform in colour.
