I think this image is quite okay. I quite disagree with the comments saying that the sky is overexposed. The sky is spot-on, the main subject is the stone so the sky needs to conceive a brighter impression. I like the shallow depth-of-field and the lens angle is quite right. The image doesn't look balanced and seems to fall.
If something is to critique... maybe those sticks indeed. And, after all, it is just the image of a stone.

This picture is interesting… makes me feel like I can smell and
touch the mud and grass. Visually I am drawn away from your
subject, it is an uninteresting rock, and up to the horizon. While it
is not balanced horizontally, I like the hill peaking up from behind
the grass, a touch of blue in the stormy sky… congratulations for
submitting into the challenge! Great work

I think this shot has great potential, I agree with what allan has to say though. I find the sticks surrounding the stone a little distracting too. The composition is nice and simple and the textures on show are really great. It's nearly there, but not quite.

The composition works but I would have quite liked to see a larger depth of field being used so that the grass was in focus. Unfortunately the sky is over exposed which is a shame as there seems to be quite a lot of detail up there. Also perhaps a wider focal length could have been used to get more of the sky in shot.
