A couple comments:  I think you need a closer viewpoint, just too much 
empty space as it is.  Perhaps a very close and low viewpoint making 
them tower into the sky.  Also I'm a bit bothered by the way the mounds 
simply sit on the ground -- there should be at least some transition, 
like the mud going a little way up their bases.

The horizon in the exact center of the image is generally, aesthetically 
considered a no-no, too static.  Either lower the horizon to emphasize 
the sky or raise it to emphasize the ground.  I think a low, close 
viewpoint (low horizon) whould give you a much stronger image.  But 
that's just one person's personal opinion -- take it for what it is.   ;-)
