Rock Science?

I used my sister's huge digital Canon camera (I think?) to capture this picture from our boat on the West coast of Sweden last summer. With this picture, unlike the ones I posted earlier, I don't really feel like I had to do much to get a good picture. I saw this rock formation and decided to photograph it, and the simplicity of this picture is part of what I think makes it work. Its other crucial parts, I believe, are the uneven proportions that it is divided into and the multi-toned rosy color together with the blacks and grays. As with the swan picture, it is confusing at first sight, which is something I enjoy about it. But ultimately, it's simply a straight-on picture of a beautiful granite mountain off the Swedish coast--yet its description even makes it sound complex.
