Its a symetrical composition with the main subject at the centre of the frame. The wall, door and windows of the building looks pretty sharp and well exposed, but the sharpness reduces towards the roof and chimneys. I would have liked to leave some room on top as the chimneys look cut-off. Is the sky post processed? There is also a slight slant upwards, as the shot was taken from ground level. Overall this is a decent record shot.

I too would like to see more room above the chimneys - somewhere for the imaginary smoke to go

All the straight lines in the scene makes my eyes want to start at the bottom and work up. There is not enough dead space above the chimey's I feel like the two previous posters. Sometimes the lack of something can be a strong compositational aid. This image I think needs a little room to breath I think a vertial oritenated picture may have been a better choice. Exposer and color look good.

you have a beautiful depth of color in your sky but over all you are underexposed....a simple levels adjustment should take care of that....

thanks for sharing...

Thanks for the Comments.
I used a Polarizer filter on this shot.
