    Personally, I think there needs to be some work on the land to try and bring out some detail.

    The horizon seems false in that you have selected the sky to over saturate without softening the join, giving the black separation line. Difficult to tell at this size.

    I do like the composition though and the square format.

    This one is much better than the one with the lighthouse. The sky is dramatic and is enhanced by the distant silhouette and the foreground shore. I like that you can make out some detail in the surf. Decent shot.

    The horizon is leaning left and is to centered. I think a crop at the top putting the horizon more in the upper third would help the composition. You might also try a boost the shadows and give the foreground a little more detail as suggested by Roger. Maybe some dodging.
