Greetings from the Critique Club -
Why hello again! A better score this time. Still not great but much better to be out of the 4s. Improvement in any form is a good thing.
I think you met the challenge just fine. Architectural symmetry is always a good thing. The composition is just right, near perfect mirror image from left to right. Good lines and a nice angle.
The big problem here is how dark the image is. The rainy day was no help I am sure, but you may have been able to corrct it a bit using more of alevels adjustment to brighten up the whole image and then maybe some selective color tweaks to darken your blacks and turn your sky a brighter blue - all basic legal. Making those tweaks or something along those lines would have given you a brighter more colorful image and most likely a higher score. (Also be careful what you clone in basic - sensor dust is legal, I am not sure if raindrops would be).
Overall a much more pleasing image than the last one I critiqued for you. You are headed in the right direction. Keep on shooting and hopefully I pull your first 6+ image to critique in the very near future. It's gonna happen.
