I just think your white's ain't so white... Did you shoot raw? What your lines, watch your angles and converging lines... One thing that adds interest to a shot like this is to sit your camera on a tripod, get as much light on / in as you can (naturally) and slow the shutter down and have someone walk through the shot - you get a sort of blurry person... play with the speed they walk / the shutter speed and see what happens.

Most of all - look after that white balance - unless the office really is that orange.

You might want to do a two shot HDR so that you can get a much better image of the stuff out the window.

ok...what does that mean?

HDR is pretty much exposing a shot for the inside of the building and exposing a shot for the sky and blending them... Or, taking a RAW image, doing a version a stop over and a version a stop under and mixing the good bits to make a well exposed image.

If you shot in RAW you could possibly do a psuedo HDR with photomatix,, DAve
