This place is in Gran Canaria, a basaltic column in the center of the island. Not sure about colours and composition in this one. C&C welcomed...
Shoted handheld with a Nikkor 80-400 VR:
This has a very effective "theatrical set" quality--foreground, middle ground, and background nicely defined, with each introducing the next. Colors are very evocative, hot and humid and tropical.
Good composition and light--my only suggestion might be to crop the OOF lower foreground--not sure you need it, or need all of it: it is not needed to frame the subject, and is out of character with the finer needles of the trees on either side. But that's a minor suggestion.
I'm undecided on the framing. Maybe if you went to full silhouette on them, they wouldn't catch my eye as much. I do like the general comp and atmosphere though. You are lucky to live there.
I am not a landscape person from a photography perspective, but I do like the original idea for its three dimensional feel. I feel more (in focus) foliage would look nicer and could perhaps become a stronger composition. :)
