Composition is excellent… All the different shapes play well together. I'm on a very small display but the upper part of the frame looks a bit flat (probably display related).
Bravo!

English countryside? Why does the right side look soft? Fog? I get a feeling of movement to the right form the clouds and to the left from the shadows. And stasis from the rocks!

it is somewhere on the way to or from The Pt Reyes Peninsula In Marin County CA minutes and yet light years from San Francisco.  fairly near Inverness CA where the Movie ,..."The Fog" was shot.

It's much much better on a large desktop display… by the way, I wasn't criticising the "empty sky" at all…

Indeed! I like this version best! There's something dynamic in it, as if the boulder was surfing.
