The contrast between the top atmosphere and the landscape may be too large. I would be tempted to try using more haze. The rocks look very much like corals, metamorphosed into granite. Maybe some more plants sharing the same distribution...

It's a good render. Keep working on it.

Certainly seems too contrasty, the rocks are certainly extremely jagged.. Any chance of putting a puddle of water or something to draw the eye around the image?

I do like it, it just seams like its a tad barren. its better than anything I could do 10fold.

I actually like the desolate mood in this image. Sky and Atmo are great, ground color are dark but well chosen.
Once reviewing the ground a little cloer, I think the stone bed doesn't look convincing. Looks like somebody has emptied a load of stnes onto a concrete ground, but not enough to actually cover it, you know what I mean?

Anyway, to me it's a pleasant picture in an artistic sense.

Cheers,
Frank

Looks subtler. I'd even mask out some of those stones mid left to break up the 'almost' regularity. And a few dry bushes would work here too.

The atmosphere colour looks warmer too. And I've just noticed your bird object. I like having to look for detail.

The second version looks lovely. Good looking scene, congrats!
I would reccomend to place some more grass or dry grass,  placed ramdomly about .
