I stopped at this photo because of its title. The thumbnail gives the impression that I'm about to see the top of a cathedral, but once I opened it I saw the top of an unfinished building. Then I realized that god is on the clouds, and men are the ones building the building, like a Babel tower type of thing.
OK, now I guess I know what I'm looking at. I'd increase the contrast a bit, saturate, so that the blue of the clouds and the darks of the building pop up off the image.
I don't know if you could go closer to the building, so that to improve on the composition. The idea is to confront the geometric and crystalline shape of the building with the amorphous clouds. AS it is, the photo is just a frontal shot of the scene, without any dramatic impact.
I'd say, it has potential, but it isn't good as it it.
In my opinion.

Cheers,

A fine start, AJ. The shot could use a little contrast boost, but this is well seen. Good Job.

Nice sky, nice tower. It isn't quite a silhouette, but the dark exposure loses all detail. Possibly selective lightening of the building could have brought out some detail while preserving the sky.

Needs more. Details of building are really lost in the compensation to get the sky well exposed. The sky is wonderful, but the building is very dark.

Maybe if the tower had been highlighted to show more architecture, it would have told the real title story....7

Nice idea, but the focus on the building is a little too soft.
