Exercise - Positioning the horizon

The photos were taken at The Beachy Head one of the weekends. I took only 3 photos because there were no point of interest in the image if the line were at other levels.
a) horizon line in the top of frame

This photo emphasize the object on the foreground, the chair. The sky does not seem at all important.


b) horizon line in the middle of frame

This photo equally emphasize both foreground object, the chair, and some of distant the background object, building, the ocean and the sky.

C) horizon line at the bottom of frame

This photo emphasize only the sky. There is no interesting element in the foreground because it is not captured in the frame.

Personally I prefer the 2nd image above because there is a balance between the foreground object and the distant background.
If I want to highlight how the sky had looked, I would have used the 3rd image where the horizon line is at the lower level.
