As I wander about in my role of "tourist", I find that it's impossible to get some shots without cars or people. I also find that those shots tend to be rather boring. The cars and people, to me, add an interesting juxtaposition. There's the old, then there's the here and now. You got amazing detail in the bricks here, and did a very good job bringing out the clouds.
Good, balanced composition. However, the overall design suffers due to the presence of cars (I always find them ruinous to images of this type) and of people in brightly colored clothes right along a major leading line. Overcast weather is good for close-ups and texture shots, but not so suitable for wider views like this. Spot lighting (As in a bit of sunlight peeking throuh a crack in the clouds and hitting the building) would have elevated this image to a whole new level...Well, I am never patient or determined enough to just sit there for hours and hope that that would happen, myself. So I shouldn't preach either.
