I think it would be worth seeing if you can recover a bit of brightness from the bottom of the picture and overlaying that section. At the moment the bright part of the sky is so overpowering that the details at the bottom look rather indistinct and messy.
On one half of the attached copy, bumped up the brightness on a duplicate copy of the image using the curves tool. I then applied a graduated layer mask, like using a graduated ND filter, to keep the top as the original but (transitioning in the bank of cloud just above the sea) allow the brighter lower portion to shine through.
