The second uses lighting to give it depth more than the single rock jutting out IMO. In the first one, you can see rocks framing the picture in the bottom, but the lighting is upper left. The bottom one has way more shadows which give more depth. Landscape photography is lots of planning and waiting for the sun to be 'just" right.
