Try cropping it tight in to the shadows to emphasise them as the subject.

You dont think by doing that it would take away from the height of the building.

Keep the image the same height, just narrow it down. Take perhaps 1/8th off the left and 3/8ths off the right. Can't hurt to try; if you don't like it, undo!

yeah, maybe something like this...
Also, I thought the original was a bit washed out so I toned it down a bit..

What do you think?
