good shot clay, i think the comments below are spot on. only thing lacking in this is composition. i think you were going for a "through the bushes" type vantage point, and if so you got it, but stepping back and getting a "not so tight" crop of this would have upped the score a little. but, that being said you're consistently getting high votes, if that's what you're after. :)

keep shooting, good stuff

There is some feeling of silence conveyed by this image but I feel you could have done better if you had stepped back somewhat and had captured a bit more of the building in the frame. Also the creepers in the foreground detract from the image. 4

I like the tonal range you've capture here, there are some lovely textures, but the composition doesn't appeal to me. It's too tight on the building for my taste.
