I think the composition works good, but the harsh light and high contrast are too much of a detriment.

The light and contrast works for me on this one. Normally it wouldn't, but this one I like. My only nit is that the FG boulders are ever so slightly out of focus.

Thanks. I suppose I could sharpen the foreground a little more and burn the highlights a little?

I'm not sure how much you'll be able to get out of the FG, but some selective sharpening is certainly worth a try. It's not very far OOF.
I wouldn't worry too much about the highlights. They don't really look blown to me, but you might try dodging the shadows a little to see if you can pull some detail out of them.
I still say the contrast works in this one. To me it provides a little mood.
