Beautiful perspective, nice composition. Nit: Seems to have a slightly blue/magenta cast (nikon?) and there's a line in the sky, which may be a plane, or may be some other noise. It think it might have been better cloned out.
Composition: Subject Placement, Cropping, Background 5
Technical: Focus, Exposure, Lighting, Processing 4
Appeal: Is it Interesting, Motivating, Etc. 5
How well does it meet the challenge: 8

Your subject is under exposed. Try shooting at a different time of day maybe.
I really do not know what to see about the colors in this....I like the architecture and the mural, but the colors are too cast in blue. It's a hard image to take and I fail frequently....in post if you had tried to play with levels you might have been able to do something....not sure.
Nice composition but it looks like you slid the blue too high to get the sky right and the rest of the objects suffer for it. You have a picture of a nice sky with murky other stuff.
This is an interesting viewpoint for a very interesting-looking building. It seems that the sky is perfectly exposed to the detriment of the forebround, losing most of the color in the plants and the details of the building. I think a little brightening in levels or curves coujld have improved this.
