Critique Horsey Beach, Norfolk

[PatrickO]

I'm usually more of a portrait tog, but I'd like to do more landscape. My first go at landscape long exposure.
Taken around sunset with the sun behind me and obscured by cloud. #3 and #4 are just slightly different edits of two similar shots.
Opinions, suggestions, criticism all welcome.

First - always check the angle of your horizon......!

Secondly I would say that they are all adequate technically (but see comment above).

Thirdly it is not a natural feature and the images would be far better if it was.

My favourite is no 2.. I would crop it top and bottom to make a panoramic.......

Thanks for feedback Jerry. I did previously adjust the horizon level, but checking again they are out by about .25 of a degree, so always worth double checking.

I've tried your suggestion of a panorama crop on #2 and here's the result:
