Compositionally, you've employed the rule of 3rds here, but there's nothing really below the horizon (the lower 2/3 of the image) to hold my attention.

I'm not sure that this is the right place to ask this question, but I'll try anyhow:

I took a number of photos in Cuba where the sky was blah. I have corrected them with Helen Bradley's excellent technique of using another sky in "Blending Options", but There is always a halo around the edge of the houses/trees that I can't for the life of me get rid of..

Can anyone help?

In my opinion there is just too much water. The large amount of water diverts attention from the cityscape itself. Also may benefit from using a smaller aperture so that the city would be better in focus. As was said above, compositionally the image obeys the rule of thirds, I just think maybe the water should comprise 1/3 rather than 2/3 unless you are going to add a subject of some sort in the water.
