Camera Work/Technical: Great focus and excellent depth of field use. Everything is nicely viewable with very little noise.
Lighting: Very nice. The shadows and highlights on similar colored objects play well together to provide wonderful contrast.
Composition/Content: Wonderful and dramatic composition. The shadow and highlight paired with the clue sky works very well to move the eye through the frame. My only change would be aligning the bottom portion of the image with the frame. This slight tilt looks more accidental than intentional.
My Opinion: I believe that you met the challenge very well, and you did it with a very strong image. I think that the voters were looking for more angles and a dramatic background. Still, I like this one better than many that finished ahead of it.
This is a very imaginative composition - brings out a simple contrast between the two buildings and creates a nice absract group of shapes. You could pop the color more, perhaps boost the contrast.
