There are a couple of things to really like about this shot. First, the wonderful parallel lines of the building's drab, rusted siding leading your eye to the beautiful clouds with snatches of blue sky. You've used an unusual angle for this shot, and it really adds interest. The window also provides some visual relief from the vertical lines, without interfering with the effect.
The colors in the siding are not very attractive to most people (tans to browns). Also, the edge of the top of the building is not parallel with the top edge of the photo. It looks like you leveled the shot using the break in the siding, but that horizontal line blends into the surroundings, compared to the break between the building and the sky, which is a sharp contrast, and really the focus of the picture.
On the emotional side, this shot does a great job of presenting the viewer with a contrast between the decay of the man-made and constant beauty and newness of the natural. At the same time is does not strongly take one side or the other, but leaves it to the viewer's preference and experience.
