Nice landscape! I think a small amount of selective brightening of the grass and old log would hopefully bring out some detail.

Hi Kristine, as well as lightening up the foreground a little as Philip suggests you could also maybe crop out the band of bright sky at the top of the shot. As it is it is drawing my eye away a little bit from the main area of the photo. It looks like a great location to start on your photography. Good luck.
Gary.

Lots of potential here. The color contrasts are nice (green/purple). If there was a better balance of light and dark tones, I think this might come through better.

Kristine, I like your composition with the strong diagonals and the detailed texture of the log in the near, complemented by the vertical layers in the distance. Colors reflect the atmosphere of this scene well to me.
I think brightening the shadows a bit especially in the foreground might be favorable, thus allowing a more lightweighted impression. If it were mine, I would also think about cropping about half of the sky above the log, that might give a more compelling composition. But these suggestions are purely a matter of opinion, I like the image as it is.
