The tough part about shots like these is that you need to get detail in both the building and the sky. You nailed the building, but the sky is blown out. Either that, or the sky wasn't terribly interesting to start with. This creates a feeling of the building rising up into...nothingness. I feel a little ripped off that my eyes go up the length of the building and not get rewarded at the end!

Wow! What a striking image. I think it is a much better image with the sky added.

Can I just say two small things? First, I think that you need to try to match the color of the sky with the color of the reflection. Right now, the sky is a little darker shade of blue. I think matching the two blues will help make it look a little more natural.

My last comment and this is a small thing, in the bottom of the image, just to the right of the reflected building, is a disk shape. I'm sure that this is a recessed interior light, but I had to look twice. It almost looks like a UFO. I would clone that out so it is not a distraction.

Great image.

I love the picture. The edit adds so much more. nice job.

One distraction I found was the reflection in the bottom left hand window.
I don't know if you can edit that out or not, but It just seems a bit distracting...to me anyways
