Irish mountains

Hi there,
A pretty simple landscape and I’m struggling to make it look nice between the foreground and the background.
Would love to see what you all can do with it. Many thanks.

Here’s my effort

I love the foreground shadows, especially on the second ridge from the front.

I had a lot of trouble with this photo - there was something (to my eyes) about the hill in the lower left foreground that didn’t seem to fit with the rest of the photo. Anyway here is my attempt in DT 5.

I tried it with a little bit of drama:

I think the crop from @Dito_Budi makes sense. The blue sky is more irritating than useful. Pushed my first edit a little bit further:
