The image is sloping
Its a good starting point, and I like the composition and colour, but if you had stood higher and shot from the window level, You'd have a straight image, instead of the shutters sloping in. Also looks like you shot from the side; again, always a good idea to center yourself.

It was actually a second story window that I was shooting from across the street on the ground level. I do agree that I should have found a way to get it straight. I guess I could level it out in photoshop, but that seems like cheating.

I hope that's a cropped image because you will lose a lot of it if you use photoshop to square it up using lens correction. IMHumbleO you forgot the classic rules of composition for square/rectangular composition i.e. that stuff should be aligned with the frame to be 'harmonious'.

Ah... Well in that case you could try straightening it in photoshop/lightroom/whatever using lens correction or the straighten tool, but the left corner's already sneaking out of the frame, and you might lose some more.
