It is interesting how subtle changes can have a big impact. One of the latest things I added to my terrain experiment is for rock pillars to slightly lean inwards.

I think this small change much better conveys the shape of the cliffs, especially at a distance. Probably has a lot to do with the normals better aligning with the implied shape.

Here are some before/after shots.
