Very good framing.

Very likeable. OTOH the cliffs seem very smooth, perhaps due to processing.

I have to agree with the B&W treatment. Some areas look flat (not much contrast) and others look a bit strange. I think that spending 5 or 10 minutes to redo B&W treatment wouldn't be wasted time.

Agreed.
