Lighting! Properly dynamic lighting is wonderful, isn’t it?!?
Just look at the way the sparse clouds are creating patches of shadow across these mountains. It makes the bright sunlight show to its fullest glory.
If the clouds weren’t there, if the sun shone with full force, the whole mountain face would be around the same color, just a big blob of green. Likewise, if it was cloudy, it would fade into a dull shape. It’s only with the combination of the sun and clouds that the mountains can show off.
Why do I feel like I should make up some moral lesson about moderation right now?
