Default Architecture - Early Sydney

Although, not cityscape, the below picture is architecture in subject!

It had been a couple of weeks in getting out, and i was around La Perouse in Southern Sydney. This area is on the entrance of Botany Bay, a key area during early settlement of Australia.

I'm after composition, exposure and opinion on how other may take such an image!

Tonally, it looks rather dull to me. What method did you use to create the black and white image?

Composition is okay but, since you have chosen to put the tower in the middle distance, I would have been looking round for something like a path to lead the eye towards it.

ps. Medium size is a better choice when posting from Flickr - safely within the size limits but giving a larger size for people to look at.
