Workshop Note
I sharpened a bit, many ways to do that you will find here on TE in several WS, thinking at sharpening on light/dark blending layers, lab-sharpening or sharpening plugins like FocusMagic, Focalblade sometimes used in combination with the light/dark blending layers.

a duplicate layer contrast+ can enhance the rocks and with an erase tool in opacity soft bordered you can remove the areas you dont like back to original, so here a tiny bit more contrasts on the rocks, darker, to make the man stand out.

I hope this can inspire you ?
