You're going to hate me for this. :-)

I actually liked the first version of your image best. It has a 
wonderful surreal feel about it. It had a lot of obvious things "wrong" 
with if from a photorealism perspective (textures, shadows), but a lot 
of the more subtle things--like the light, and the clouds--were and are 
perfect.

BTW, how did you get the shadows on the hills in the first version? It 
looks like either an AOI pattern, or else you maybe have the clouds 
casting shadows. Either way, its beautiful.

Back to the most recent version :-) the rock looks weird blurred in the 
foreground. It's blurred enough that it's hard to tell what it is, 
especially since there's nothing else like in in the image. Adding some 
more rocks like it elsewhere in the image might help.

I would really like to see some higher resolution renders of the image. 
It looks great, and I'd like to see more of it. :-)

You know you've been raytracing too long when it takes longer to parse 
your input files than it does to render them.
