Take your next holiday in the south of France?
More seriously though, I'd be tempted to tweak the brightness and contrast a little on the second shot, and the horizon may be just a touch crooked on the first. Both, however, give a good feel for the foul weather
Best wishes, Kris.

I like the second shot, although everything does lean a little. Those must be damn good windows. I can commend France. September has been glorious here, forecast is 27deg.C tomorrow.

I had a quick play with the second one. I used levels to brighten it up quite a bit, then an adjustment curve to increase the contrast and a BW conversion layer. It worked rather well apart from the sky going all blocky when I tried to darken it down a bit and make it more threatening due to working on a lo-res jpg. With the original file and a few quick tweaks it will be a very nice shot.

I agree re comments on the second shot, which is my favourite of the three - you've captured real drama in those breaking waves!

No 2 is an arresting image. The others have already advised you on how to make it even better.

As for the pics, I think the wonky horizons is caused by the SR, I find I have to re-level most of mine by rotating anti-clockwise too.
I wonder if the occupants of the house in the second shot bother with a window cleaner
