It's better that way

With that kind of sunny outdoor scene, depth of field should be big (high
diaphragm value and focus set to infinite) so nearly no blur at all.
You only get focal blur on close up focus and/or low light conditions.
Here I feel a wrong scale as if the closest rocks were at 1 meter or less.

Your sky has no gradient as real sky has.
I'd set a lower cam position because with this one I'd expect a background
landscape.
