Hello from the critique club
A cluttered image that meets the challenge on a basic level
Hello Marcel. What a lovely old building you have found here its architecture certainly fits the challenge well. I'm sorry but I have to say I feel quite uncomfortable with the composition it just doesn't work for me. Whilst I like and often use diagonals they can be very effective but here they make me feel as though the building is about to topple over. This effect is compounded by the foreground building on the left of the frame, it is perfectly straight. The lamp is very intrusive in a way that is not lending itself to the overall image. The staircase is an interesting feature but it is just too much in relation to the overall image. I think there is just too much going on here for it to work effectively, as they say, less is more.
I like the mono processing and the full range of tones you have. As the image itself stands perhaps a squared up crop of the right part of the main building excluding the lamppost might work. Whilst I like the foreground building I don't think a square crop of that would work because you would have to include that unattractive and intrusive lamppost in a way that just wouldn’t work at all.
I see the corner of the foreground building is rounded, if the windows too are rounded I think a return to those windows and looking at the reflections of the main building in them could be well worth looking at. In my minds eye I am seeing some gorgeous reflections that capture this lovely building in all its glory and having the windows themselves as the frame you will capture those lovely windows too.

| I really like this, but not sure about the crop. Not that I have any alternative, but others may. |
