Default City shot at night

What can I do to make this photo better? I havn't done any editing to it yet, but the building structures look crooked to me. Just looking for any advice or comments. This was my first time to take any "night shots" and I took it in hurry so any help is appreciated.

It leans rather severely to the right.

The bridge in the foreground is distracting, so you could crop that out. And it's very soft/blurred. Did you handhold for this pic?

I also found taht the shot is a little out of focus. I would suggest using a tripod, and give your self some more time to expirement with differnet angles rather then being in a hurry. i found that none of my picture turn out good if your in a hurry and didnt take the proper time to think out the shot. Other then the focus issue and the tilting, the picture seems great as far as exposure and what not.

Best of luck to you,
Joshua
