I like some of the light and shadows on the tower, wish there were more to create more of a contrast to make the building really pop. The sky seems a little flat as well. I do like the placement of the building in the shot, nice crop.
Usually I don't like images where the bottom of a building is croped out. This is an example which breaks the rule. Nicely 'grounded' on that plinth the detail in the tower is excellent.
