...lastly:
The traditional format of a landscape is foreground, middle ground, and background. That can be futzed with, but I think it works here. The darkness and murkiness of the foreground contrasts with the heat of the building and sky with the tone and action of the river providing some mediation. The darkness also gives weight that is needed to support the light in the sky.
Cutting the foreground here would make the line of buildings a middle ground and flatten it, I think.
