OK, a couple of things that might help, if I may be so presumptuous. The location you chose let you down somewhat...the pier/yacht club structures seem to blend in to the skyline, making it look as if it's part of the city, not a ferry-ride separating the two. Next, the post processing routine you chose left some really weird artifacts around the top of the office buildings...see that patch of oversaturated blue? On a positive note, I really dig how the reflection of the tower in the still water looks.

Too much scene contrast from left to right and the building in the center takes away from the city's skyline.

Particularly in the sky above the city - it looks over-processed
