Seattle Skyline CC Please

I took this picture over the summer. We went out on the Argossi cruise, it was pretty cold, but a nice clear sky. I did some PP in CS5 with the sky. I was wondering if the clouds added to the picture or is taking away from it. I didn't have my CPL at this time and still a newbie with photography. Also please comment on items I did bad on the picture taking process, or the good things.

Thank you

The second one just doesn't look realistic, because the lighting from the clouds wouldn't correspond to the buildings. First one's good already

one thing you did wrong was to post the small versions!

Ok here is a bigger picture of the non-clouds.

Thank you for the input. I do agree about the lighting on the buildings the more i look at it.

you've got slight keystone distortion. You can correct for it in photoshop. I'd also sharpen the buildings.

I agree, the original looks clean and simple.
I have something pretty close to that, I just removed the distortion and sharpened the buildings like robertwsimpson said.

Quite a bit underexposed. I think the blue sky looks fine. But if you want some clouds, download free cloud brushes (Google) and just put a few in.

also clone away that lone cloud. if there would more that would be fine but because there are almost no clouds in the sky it looks out of place
