Me too.
The gray sky in the BW looks fake. I can see the tone of the real sky in all the reflections in the water and on the buildings. It's hard to fake a sky, especially near the horizon. Possibly copy one out of another photo if you have to. The reflections have to match the sky. I'd be inclined to work with the bright white sky, and do some burning and dodging to make the whole scene snap more.
It is recommended to generally avoid bright, white sky, but I don't think it's problem here. The high contrast, urban scene suits it. If I were at the location again I'd try taking a couple of steps to the right , and see how it looks solid buildings.
There is an optical illusion where it seems like the left third of the photo is significantly darker, and the dividing line seems almost artificial. Increasing the contrast to the left of the divide would lessen the illusion. Whether it's better or not? But probably worth looking at.
