#2 is great!

I kind of feel that #1 lacks a dominant focal point. Maybe if you put the horizon in the top or bottom third...

Don't take my comments to heart, though. I'm just an amateur doing this for fun.

I like #2 as well. The rocks jetting out into the ocean look like huge pieces of coal and add some really nice contrast to this shot. EDIT: I think #2 could use a crop as well. I think the Rule of Thirds would work well here too.

As far as number one goes, I have to agree with Sonic. The Rule of Thirds would make for a more interesting composition here. I think putting the horizon on the bottom third would be best since the photo's appeal is in the atmospheric quality of the clouds and fog in the distance.

Very nice. #2 is just exceptional. I love the light and the tonal range in it.
