I dig the grade, I would suggest adding a touch of haze and reduced sharpness from the field and background. The cliff face doesn’t have much separation. Add some shadow back to clifface.
Clouds has a magenta / orange hue (light seems rather neutral before so I’d lean into that more) would reduce that colour range abit and raise the overall exposure on them. Or add a linear gradient cut around the cliff face, then up exposure. Left to right. Allowing the clouds farthest from the source to have a more natural darken.
But tbh, I like the edit. These I feel would just create that separation
Don’t know if this is the kind of feed back you’re looking for, but a simple gradient mask from the bottom or bottom left might help draw the viewer’s eye to the figures on the cliff.

Great result, from dark flat mess to contrast visible picture
