A good viewpoint ( am I alone in thinking that the main outcrop of rock looks like a lion's head?), but the clouds look to be too bright to me.

Wow, those clouds are all the way blown out. You have an elements in the foreground (rock) and in the background (clouds) but no middle-ground giving your image an overly compressed feeling.

The over-exposure of the clouds is my major problem with this: all that remains here is the shapes, with no sense of the different tones that should be there. Obviously Idon't know what type of camera you're using, but I would have metered fro the clouds to find my exposure setting here (then you would know the brightest part of the image), or if necessary the very edges of the rock, so that you still get that brightness in the metered area, and hoped that the range of the camera would cope with the comparative darkness of the rocks, and could be brought back in editing. Compoaitionally, I think this is too complex to be Adams-like: most of his images are of very strong shapes, without a lot of confusion of different shapes that you have here. The surface weathering on those rocks is beautifully caught, however, giving them some sense of real 'life', which i like.

Excellent textures and tones. Clouds seem a bit over exposed, but could just be the way they were that day. Good AA style.

Your clouds are really blown out

Good contrast, but I'm looking for more detail in the clouds.

Maybe a greater DOF could have been better for this image,but nice colours
