Pretty cool so far.
I can think of three ways of improving the background-
- change the saturation/hue of the grass as it recedes back into the image, to suggest more atmospheric depth.
- as you said- add mountains in the background to balance the figure and break the image plane into a third section.
- and finally- try adding some clouds- both as a means of compositional balance but also for suggesting extra depth and volume.

one crit about the grass though- i think it's too flat looking considering it's waist-tall. There should probably be more shadows and contrast within its volume.

I kind of like the clean feeling the image has now.

If you make mountains make them really light and faded looking (atmospheric, like bilbo said)...but also I don't think anything should be crowding the kickass rabbit.

Hey

I think it would be cool to see some trees
in the background, but I also like the feeling the picture has now.

take it easy

I really like it just the way it is. The only thing I might do to balance it a bit is saturate the colors of the mountains a bit more, maybe put the sun over there. Maybe a solitary tree in the background.
