Yes agree, the lighting was terrible. Made it hard to adjust the picture.

Yes it would have been better to cut out the skyline. It was a hard photo to adjust, the brightness of the day was so strange.

It was a rainy cloudy but bright day. That is why the sky is so funny.

This subject has so much potential. The composition of this looks like a tourist snapshot. If this is something near to you revisit when better lighting is available, dusk or dawn, and try some various angles (non centered as it currently is). If the sky isn't interesting try not to show it. I can envision a shot of this tighter in with the sun casting a shadow in the door frame? Very cool subject - I'm jealous. Keep having fun!
