If this is taken by a 'total novice' I look forward to seeing your pictures when you get good! I like the way transition from the smooth rocks in the foreground to the more jagged ones in the centre. I would have been tempted to darken the sky a little but still keep the bright horizon.
Since you're looking for comments I'll speak my mind. I'm thinking that the image is stronger if you crop about 2/3 of the sky out. That gives the darker foreground much more impact. As it is now my eyes are drawn into the picture and then to the sky. If I scroll down and 'crop' the top off within the browser I notice myself focusing harder on the real subject matter, which is the rock formation.
Lovely print. I am really looking forward to seeing more of your work.
