Very beautiful capture and amazing perspective from the hikers!
The only thing that comes to my mind is (only in my personal liking ofcourse) I would dodge a but that land on the left hand side. Enough to make impression that the light was distributed equally. The sky on the right is dark however, the land beneath it seems to be more birght then from the one where the sky is more bright. I'm sure it is how light was distributed naturally though. Details and colours seem great!
Sorry, I suppose I'm being too pedantic :) I've never done such subjects hence I might be wrong and this is only my personal perception of the image.
Regardless, I do believe this is a great capture I really enjoy its effect on me when I look at it!

Wonderful atmosphere Kah Kit. The hikers really add a sense of scale and depth. I also like the lead in of the rock form and the gorgeous, threatening sky.

Excellent Kah Kit. The rugged coast and the sky really show the place well. I have never been there but I can imagine how it feels when standing there with the wind in my face. The two figures give scale, but this would be a top notch ESS image without them. Technically I would say that the fg and midground are a bit too bright, particularly compared to the horizontal band of land - maybe you can brighten that a bit.

You're quite right in your suggestions IMO Tom.
