The only noticeable difference I see between your re-do and my original is the lightening of side shadow on the boulder. Believe I still prefer the additional contrast afforded by the slightly deeper shadows. You indicated your choice might be "dreamy" appearing moss, but I prefer your rendering as it looks the same as my original, but on a smaller upload. Appreciate you comments and efforts, Steve.
