Luis,
I believe that your first image is the stronger of the images:

On my monitor at least it is a little too gray.  I believe that if you
burn in the center sky down while increasing the contrast of the sky
there would be a stronger feeling of "storm".  At the same time I
believe that I would lighten some of the white caps and darken some of
the troughs to accentuate the wave pattern.

I find the image very compelling, just my two cents worth of thought.

I also find the image of the chair very interesting.

I believe that if it was cropped square to eliminate the
coast/habitation on the left side you would add to the sense of
displacement that the lone chair on the beach presents.

Good group of images.  Thanks for the view.
