I dislike the exaggerated colors of the edit. I do like the clear, dark sky of the original and would fix two things in the picture.

As has been mentioned already, I would fixed those converging lines of the buildings. I do not like parallel lines that are not parallel. Just my taste. Then I would bring out some of the building detail. Not a lot because the drama of the picture for me is the bright sun and great sky. If you want to see the building detail, then go out there when the sun is elsewhere.

This reminds me of a process I used in film. Three shots were taken. Number one with a process red filter, #2 with a process blue filter and #3 with a process green. The stacked, pin registered slide combination gave normal color except where something moved, as in the smoke. this would make the smoke stream mostly white, but with multicolored fringes. I've never tried it with digital.
