I think this is a good start. I'm a sucker for blue sky and with the blues and greys of the buildings, I think this image sets a nice mood. I wonder though, had you either a: not cropped this so much (if you did) or b: taken this image in portrait instead of landscape would the lengthier buildings have added more to the picture. From what I've learned here, if you have an image with lines that converge, the longer the lines are the more interesting the image tends to be. I think your eye found something that was a great capture but I also think that you could have made it a bit better.

Conversely, you could crop it further, to remove the grey structure connected to the central building. That would then give you three architectural elements against the blue sky. I would also then crop a little from the left to keep one of the "verticals" on the left-most building ascending from the bottom corner.

Lots of choices... but, like Dan, I think this is a good picture already.

I really appreciate the feedback.

I didn't actually do any cropping but I love the suggestion to crop out the smallest building in the background and only have three remaining.

I will definetly try a portrait shot next time to lengthen the buildings.
