With the combination of warm and cool colors, this image certainly works well for the theme! I like your comp with the tree clump on the left, the angled slope, and the front straight line of grasses. At first, I didn't even notice the animals present but they are a nice addition. IMO the solitary cloud is distracting and, personally, I would clone it out. Also, I think a slight brightening of the whole image may be helpful to better see the details and wonderful colors in this image. An oldie but goodie, Sandy! :smile:

I like the contrast of gentle colors, they make for lovely image, both inviting and chilly. I could see cropping this from the right to that cluster of trees at the top of the ridge, then the lone cloud would be a focal point counterbalanced with the elk.
