My first thoughts were that it might be better cropped more as a panorama.
OTOH, what part would one do away with? If one halved the amount of sky,
then the patches of clear blue on the left, that are above (and tend to
complement) the brightest spots of sun on the left hillside would be lost.
As I scroll/crop, I find the picture is less dynamic with less sky and goes
flat without it.
Of course it's personal preference.

I agree that there's too much sky. But I love the New Zealand scenes. The
harbor is quite nice as well. Thanks for the pics and the interesting info.
