Some grass, well arranged stones, two hills and finally the sky… One can go through the layers of your image vertically (from bottom to top) or merely looking in the distance (from foreground to background). This is what i call a perfect composition.
I’m glad you didn’t notice my wife’s camera on the RHS!

lovely..looks ideal!
Looks ideal in winter and spring when its all green but come summer, it all dies off and becomes a barren wasteland of dust. Whilst we think of Australia as a new country when compared to Europe and the UK, paradoxically it is geologically much older. These hills coincidentally look like the rolling hills of England, but the “new” areas have been wearing down for 50 million years or so, and the old bits are the oldest rocks on the planet- 500M to 3B yo. England by comparison is a spring chicken: its hills formed by glaciers in the last ice age. We think of England and the UK generally as the “old country” a reference to relative caucasian occupation (13000 years in the UK cf 250 years in Australia), but at the time that the first post ice age migrations started into the Isles (c 9000BC), Australia had been already been occupied by its indigeneous australoids for 50,000 years: thats 20,000 years before homo sapiens entered Europe. Relooking at the australian landscape with this recent archeological and geological knowledge, one’s view of it as a new land suddenly evaporates, as the evidence is stark: the strange primaeval plants and animals, the leached barren soils, and an alienating feeling of incredible oldness and isolation, that strangely reconnects the psyche to the Earth.
