New update !
Went back to the original image but didnt crop it so severely this time as to give a much wider angle of view for the image. Also lightened it up a tad and worked on reducing some noise and other small tweaks

A very atmospheric shot with lots to recommend it. Black and white was certainly the correct choice over colour, you have a good range of greys from the deepest shadows through to the highlights. Having the figure in shot emphasises the scale of the structure on which he's standing and the vastness of the sea and sky, while the gangway and land to the left lead the eye in nicely. The light at the top of the pillars against the darkness just above the horizon works well, so that was a happy accident, as you admit!!
It's a shame the figure is so central - the rule of thirds is a useful guide to bear in mind. I'd consider two changes - adjusting the light fractionally to make the overall image slightly less dark; and I'd definitely crop off the top, from halfway between the top of the posts and the top of the frame. The large pale patch of sky lessens the drama of the clouds.
Overall, a very promising, moody image.
