It's hard to tell the scale of the intended feature here. If it's meant 
to be a 1000 foot spire type of thing on which you could build a hanging 
city, or tunnel into then the basic shape is right but in this case I 
would reduce the sandy beach part at the bottom to a thin strip around 
the edges. If it's meant to be a much smaller feature then it looks too 
steep to my eye. Just my 2 cents. Otherwise nice image. I've thought 
several times of making my own Myst game too.
