I would try to keep the structure off the sky though, it got quite crunchy.

The second just doesn't have the composition/clouds to be as compelling. I do like the texture of the rock so maybe without all that relatively uninteresting sky it would work better.

I agree with Jeremy, the first image is a cracker.
