I find your decision to crop off the top of the spire intriguing. It doesn't actually hurt the photo too much, because I know there's a spire there anyway. What it does do, however, is lead the eye out of the shot, which may not have been your original intention.

From a technical perspective, consider NeatImage to reduce the noise in the sky, and maybe a crop to remove the foliage on the right.

The coloring on this photo, I think would have worked better in black and white instead of sepia. The title makes you look for the rooftops but they are not a prominant part of the picture overall, the tower to the left is excellent balance but seems just a bit grainy, which actually works in this shot.

Great shot. Nice ethereal look and the black sky works well too. 10

This has a really nice feel to it, a bit forbidding like an Edgar Allen Poe story. I'd like to see the top of the spire, though.

I like the tones and the main subject a lot. However, if only the entire roof is within the photo, and possibly, more of the buildings at the bottom can be included, it would get a higher vote from me. An 8 for this.

Nice light well seen. Can you post a colour version after the challenge because sepia is not my favourite tone and IMO it does not quite suit the subject.

I really like this picture, but something about it doesn't resonate with the theme correctly with me. But I can't quite put my finger on why so I'll still rate it pretty high :)

Lovely composition but it looks a bit grainy to me

I really love the colors and the lighting. I would like to see the top of the tower and less of the other rooftops. The sky is a little grainy, but you might have intended it that way.7

nice spooky athmosphere here, would have liked to see the top of the tower though

Great sky, interesting building. I normally don't like to see part of a structure cut off, but this works well to emphasize the sky.
