I'll give the exposure a tweak when im at home, it does look darker than i'd like on this screen.
Thanks for all the comments.

Apart from the title/border at the top, I like this.
There is just enough FG light/reflection to hold it all together.

Nice 
Just a few very minor things that I'd suggest changing if you go back: [IMO and all other such warnings...]
1) The rocks at the bottom are a bit too cropped (the shape is partially set by the black border unless I'm mistaken...)
2) If you were to move slightly further round, I think the sun would be less central in the picture (although I don't know if you'd lose the lovely curve)
3) Unless the black border is there deliberately based on comment 1, then I'd suggest you change it/remove it - I think it accentuates the darkness of the image, and makes it hard to see the edge of the rocks, which I think spoils it slightly.
That said, I really like the image, and those are but minor tweaks!

I did try lightening the rocks slightly, but I didn't like how it came out, i'll keep tinkering with that though!
Reason for the border is given below, if I do re shoot this i'll keep in mind the foreground rocks to avoid the need to cover anything up!
Nice

The border is there to help cover up my bad composition at the bottom of the frame, without it the curve of the image doesn't really flow.
I'll take point 2 on board if I do a similar shot there again.
Thank you all for the nice comments and suggestions/tips
