Well, altering the colour of the sky (or any other object) in your shots is a matter of personal preference. Some like it natural, others have nothing against weird/altered colours. You sky here looks like a normal sky on an overcast day (except that it's a bit too smooth, too uniform) but it doesn't work well with that sky reflection in the building, which is still blue.

I really like the contrast and perspective.

Milosh is right. If you change the sky you have to change the reflections otherwise the eye is confused and the image while very interesting and the crop well done the lack of continuity in the colored reflection causes it to fail.
