Nice scene! I'd suggest cropping to horizon line. The middle ground cliffs need burning in to get some more detail. Might also try a higher contrast grade paper (#3 or 4).
 
there could be little things that may be changed but that would be personal tid-bits. overall very nice. I like how the strata continues across to the island.

Hello everyone. Thanx for all your Nice reply's and thoughts about my questions. After thinking the a lot about the critiques here is my plan. I'm going to try to print is as straight as possible with some crop in the sky. thanx The flyingcamera and Doughowk.
Then I'm going to try do give a little more impact to the rockface . And to finish it I want to make the shadow detail from the pinnacle on the water a little bit more visible. Will show the real work (print) here on apug just give me some time.

Thanks again for al your valuable and nice replys

Good night.

To experiment a little, try to bring out the striations in the cliffs by burning at max contrast and then bleaching back if need be.
