You were working against a high contrast scene which is tough considering the spires are blending into the blown highlights. Maybe the Atlas figure in the foreground would have been a better subject with the cathedral thrown oof in the background. (of course you would need to get a little higher from where you took this)
Very cool composition. Pitty the sky is blown out - An off camera flash "may" have been enough to ballence the exposure. Unfortunaly this realy spoils it for me.
Very difficult shot to pull, the dynamic range is too big, the sky is burned, and the foreground is a bit dark. Would be great to do it HDR, but difficult for basic editing.
