So I did a very quick and dirty paintover to emphasize what I was trying to say, hope it's okay.
I opened it in photoshop, made it greyscale to get a better idea of the values, and used the color dodge and burn tools to quickly change some values. I darkened around the bottom of the image, lightened and blurred the mountains and trees, and then added a second tree on the right.

It's pretty messy and the values could be refined a lot more, but that's the basic idea. Again, this is all from a painting perspective so photo-bashing may be different. When making environments focus on making basic shapes instead of details. The mountains are one, the fields are another, then the trees, the ground the character is standing on, and finally the foreground elements. Each have a different value.
Hope this helps!
