This is a beautiful scene and the shot has potential, but needs some routine work in post.

First, straighten the horizon. That will make a world of difference right there.

Next, the buildings and water are pretty darn dark. The camera probably exposed for the sky. If you have PS/cs, you can fix easily with the highlight/shadow tool. If not, there may still be ways to do this.

Agreed, but don't go too far with the shadows. I really like the mood of the shot.

Agree Too, the Horizon is definitly off, I didn't notice until you said...
I also like the slightly gloomy mood, since after I took it, it had just stopped raining... so hows this?

Sometimes I lie to myself and leave my pics untouched, but it's amazing what a little PS can do. Thanks for the inspiring comments!

I didn't see the original, but I like this shot a lot. I love the tranquility that it expresses.
