I think a square composition would work better here. Get rid of that squarish thing behind the woman's head. Oddly enough, the negative space represented by the gap between them draws the eye. The bit of the horizon there is unsettling. I would position the camera so that the space was either all water or all sky. Level the horizon too.

I couldn't get a squared off composition here because of the way the pier faces. Ok,I get what ur say about the space being all sky or all water. Thx.

Straighten the horizon a bit and get rid of the railing.
