I think this definately fits the challenge. The rocks are quite interesting. It's a shame we can't see them better.
The focus is a bit soft. The forground isn't too bad focus, but the forground isn't very interesting in comparison to the rocks. I wish the rocks were crisper so our attention were better drawn there.
The color seems a bit dull as well. The sky is a plain dull blue and the rocks seem to be in a fog. The color of the tree in the front is ok, but again, the forground is not the interesting part that I would like to see here.
I would like to see this without the forground elements. Don't know how possible that is, but possible or not, this image would be much stronger taken from a different location.
The vertical lines (poles?) going through the rocks are very distracting as well. They lead our eyes up and out of the photo.
Overall an interesting subject that would much benefit from a different location and lighting conditions.

Interesting rocks but the foreground is distracting, it would have been worth trying to get a better point of view

This image I think would be better with a little help, first try a different angle to get rid of all those antennia things and the buildings blocking your view (maybe even the tree). Second your colors are a little washed out, see if adjusting the curves or levels will help that. Last your focus appears to have picked the tree, leaving the rocks...your main subject...blurry. while some building or tree in the image would probably not hurt the image I think here it hurts it. Good luck

I thought that it should be spelt 'kopje'. You needed to have got a lot closer to the rocks. The lightning conductors are very distracting.

Scored higher if the clutter was out of the foreground.
