Post processing comparison - bw coastal shot.

This is long exposure I took recently on the coast near home. I shot from a high vantage point on cliffs overlooking the shore, zoomed to about 90mm to isolate these rocks. Shot on a Panasonic GX8 14-140 ISO 200 f11 3 seconds w 6 stop ND.

I like the shot overall, would prefer better light, this was a foggy overcast day. What I'm interested in here are opinions about processing style. I use Luminar 2018 to process my RAW files. The first image was my first go which I liked fine until I printed it and it seemed to need more contrast. The second shot is my attempt to add deeper backs and brighter whites w out loosing too much detail. Haven't printed it yet, but not sure I got this right. What do you think? How would you approach processing this shot?
