When I look again at your image - and take into consideration your information, I still feel the intense green detracts from the image, as a self standing image.
Maybe because greens and blues generally recede and warm colours advance, yet this image turns that on it's head - maybe that is consistent with an image that shows a man trying to be a mountain goat.
However when I came back to the image I started to appreciate how the family of shapes that the trees form echo the shape of the large rock - which adds to a cohesive image.
Just some further thoughts.
