The blue sky is very blue and pretty, but the consiquence is that the foreground is really underexposed and uninteresting.

My favorite part of your photo is definitely the sky. The foreground buildings are a bit dark, and I would have liked a bit more definition or have them complete silhouettes. Nice entry though.

good exposure for the sky but details in the foreground are too dark to see.

To me the fountain is a bit too hidden in the background detail to really be effective in the foreground.

I really like the idea of a silhouette foreground on this shot, but there are some spots that take away from that. Also, as beautiful as the sky is, the clouds are a little blown out on the highlights. The centered fountain works great with this shot.
