 This is natural lighting at sunset. A rainstorm was approaching keeping the sky in the background dark blue, while the sun had a narrow slit to diffuse the golden glow of sunset. The rock is especially red naturally. The cairn (trail marker) was stacked for an awesome pyramid shadow pointing the way to follow.

The rule is landscapes work better when everything is in the DOF or in focus and this to me is no exception.

an f/11 or higher would have worked better, along with your going further down to the ground

As good as this is, with all the focus on that rock I disagree that it really fits the landscape theme. Nice shot though.
