I'm not sure how much is the sharpness and how much is the angle, but it just doesn't feel right. And that's so unusual for your stuff--realistic or fantastic--that I thought I'd mention it.
As far as I know, there are four basic reasons/ways you could end up with a large pit: Erosion, impact, eruption, or excavation.
Erosion happens when rain cuts through soft rock, which means the remaining edges would also be fairly soft and therefore weather-rounded and not projecting so far, or they'd break off under their own weight.
Impact, whether meteor or bomb, would blast the sides out in a conical shape from the point of impact, so the upper areas wouldn't still be curving inward that way.
Eruption from below, presumably while the rock was still fairly molten, would be possible, but again I can't picture anything that would leave in-curved jagged blades rather than wider arcs or rough cracks (And if it were caused by a subsurface magic blast or bomb, I'd still expect the upper areas to be straight up or outward, not leaning in.
And deliberate excavation normally happens in stone soft enough that those projecting points would probably have fallen under their own weight.
I'm certainly no geologist and may well be wrong, but for some reason this jars me where even stratospheric-height towers haven't.
In any case, I'm certainly still happily devouring all yer art as you post it; just figured you might want to hear about any problems.
Yer fan,
