See if you can find that and either let it do auto, or do it yourself to get the buildings upright and not falling back and not squeezed in. Horizon also seems a hair crooked.
Second is the boat in the bottom. Either crop it out or crop it in. My suggestion would be in if you can, since there'd be three boats. Rule of threes/odds. Oh and the flag is cut off. Is this a crop or was that all you could do with the framing in camera?
It just seems too blue or too saturated. Maybe mess with the white balance? Or go a little less on the saturation slider?
Clouds look alright to me. But there is some haloing around the buildings.
Not too sure what the focus of the photo is supposed to be. The trees do make an implied line, but to where?

That shot with with my Tamron 24-70 f/2.8. This was done rather quickly in CS6.
No intention of the photo other than capture the skyline. The horizon is angled, because the street is moving away from me, so it gives the illusion of a messed up horizon. I shot it wide, so I know there is distortion as well. So I slapped up the grid and aligned a building in the center of the fame to true vertical.
I see the halo now. UGH. I should have caught that! The sky has zero saturation slide adjustments (or vibrance), just contrast and other edits. The water got pumped up a little, but that was it. Trees and everything did not have added saturation/vibrance.
I'll work on it. I really need to go and just spend more time on my images. I shot this from the wheel on the Navy Pier.
