I tried two different things.

I cropped off the left side to a square format and it is lovely as it  
is.

With the full photo I applied both the shadow/highlight adjustments  
and increased the midtone contrast a bit. Then in levels I darkened  
it a bit moving the middle slider. The result darkens the left side  
and the clouds,  lightens the buildings while maintaining the most of  
the darkness on the right hand landscape. The water also looks  
livelier and more natural to me.
