Default Cancun from my balcony

Took this on a recent trip to Mexico.I increased the saturation a little and lightened up the shadows to show some detail of the palm tree. My questions are; 1) should I have left the palm on the right in shadow rather than lighten it or should I crop it out entirely and 2) is the picture too busy? It was a rainy day ( all of them were when I was there) hence the skyline is pretty hazy. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Yes, the picture is too busy that I can't find any point of interest. Perhaps you have a photo from wide angle view of Cancun from your balcony.

Thanks for the input. Thats what I was afraid of, I wanted to frame the skyline but that wasn't working so I just went with the generic view. I'll just add it to the vacation snapshots. Thanks for responding.
