Overall, this is a very pleasing image. You have chosen a building with very interesting architecture. Your photo shows a very pleasing use of line, nicely squared and leveled. I like the three dimensional effect created by the building's construction. I think you could have played that up a little more using Curves to selectively brightenthe rows of windows that are offset and darkening the others. That would also have deepened the blue hues in the windows making it seem more colorful.

Your composition is pleasing with the bell tower nicely off centered. I understand why you left that small patch of sky in order to keep the cross intact. However, it was either a cloudy day or the sky is over exposed. The white sky is a little distracting from the mood set with the blues throughout the rest of the photo.

This is a startling image, for the reason expressed in your title. You chose a very nice point of view; any visible foreground or any excessive visible sky would have detracted from your message here. 7.

Nice abstraction. I find the patch of sky a bit distracting, but otherwise I like this.
