 I took this historic building from several different angles, looking for a different type of architectural shot, but ended up entering the straight-on view.
Adjusted curves, cloned out a wire strung in front of the building, adjusted hue and saturation, unsharp mask.

A little tilted to the left and a pretty blown out sky, but interesting nonetheless

crooked by the looks of it.... you need to be very careful with that.

the picture looks a bit washed out! Might have been a good idea to play with levels and curves to give it a better contrast.

Nice, crisp shot. I'd have preferred you include both flag poles or no part of them at all, though.

Sorry for the sharp tongue, but tourists shoot like this. Straight ahead (and not even shot from the center as it can be seen at the top roof), composed to the dead center, flag poles are neither in or out, perspective not corrected, colors are flat, no details in the sky. Maybe some of these problems came from your equipment, but please work on the others.
Don't take me wrong, I'm telling you all the bad things to help, not to degrade your work. 4 from me now.
