Ok, as so often happens when viewing your images, Chris.. don't quite 'get' them initially.
That is, and until after having downloaded them and messed around a bit with some additional edits/post processing. Which.. I did.
Then, taking a look at the link you posted over on the "Desktop Wallpaper, Art, etc." section of the forums with respect to that of photographer Mitch Dobrowner's work ... all came together.
So..
Really like the composition.
The placement of the two figures, to my eyes, are in opposition (geometrically speaking) to the rain occurring on the horizon in the left-hand side. Works very well, regardless of whether or not I am on the money insofar as compositional intent is concerned.
Caveats?
I do think that the range of tonalities could be a tad.. a tad, better. Lil'.. flat.
Lil', that is.. with respect to midtones and highlights.
Could try Bethany's; Digital_Angel tip on viewing your image Inverted. See this thread here:
"Tutorial: Making Dramatic B&W Photos in Irfaview". (Second post of hers to thread.)
Some of the dimensionality of the clouds and that of the light from the heavens that does manage to peek through.. is lost. (To my eyes and monitor, and qualifying things.)
Which segues nicely (:oP) to what I came up in Photoshop and a question of sorts:
"Rain at Sea" - Shadows/Highlights Adjusted.. and some other nominal editing/post processing.
Time and opportunity permitting on your end.. what is 'missing' from my rework of your photo linked to above?
Is it.. and simply put ... too 'bright' now?
Quite curious so I can start to feel my way around balancing viewing on my monitor and that of the more common LCD, LED LCD, and the like.
That said..
+favs for me.
Nice work.

Superb, favorite for me. That you were able to have such depth and clarity in a photograph of this type of scene is remarkable.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
I also like the contrasts of the sky as it rests above the sea, the contrast of the ever changing cumulus clouds and the constantcy of the body of water below.
