Where is this?
First, it's a bit easier to do at least an initial view with a smaller image so that it doesn't have to be scrolled. Think 800 pixels high, maybe 1000 max. Width up to 1000-1200.
These are challenging comps. The sky is empty, flat, as is not unusual. It sets the mood but occupies large real estate with little to find. Below the central dominant feature is the rocks jutting across the image into the water. As a side image the houses and people can be discovered but do not offer much relation to the rest of the image. I suspect you had few options to shoot this location, but probably many more up and down the coast. As is, I think you need something more once the eye hits the finger of rock
A more pano crop would make the rocks jutting to the water a stronger message and reduce the emptiness above.
As for processing, you might consider a monotone, working textures, patterns. I prefer the colors in the first. In the second I think you went too far with the contrast. Consider pulling up some shadows and preserving some sky color.
