Default NYC Skyline Panorama

I took this yesterday from the shore in Hoboken, NJ using my 70-300VR lens handheld and stitched 10 shots together using PTGui in automode. This is best viewed if you click on it and go to flickr and view the original, or at least the large size. What could I do to make it better?

NYC from Hoboken

I'd first and foremost go into adobe and "free transform the image so that the distortion is level.

Technically I agree with kylekling but I quite like the distortion here. I'd crop out the sky and sea to give a thin ribbon.

Other than that it's a well executed pano.
