I think you've managed to convey the right "feel" of a seaside setting, I'd know
the sea was there even if the water wasn't visible. Actually, it reminds me very
much of a beach near my father's old family home.

What strikes me as a bit odd is the position of the sun. The coloration of the
sky (which quite is superb) would suggest that it's early sunset, yet the sky is
still relatively high above the horizon... I may be wrong about this, though.

The figure - personally I think that from this angle against the sun, he would
be even more of a dark shilouette. The sun is behind the edge of a cloud - but
only just.
