I've been looking at this again and was thinking that if it had a vertical ratio the idea of height would be exaggerated and I think that is what I'm missing.
The left leaning perspective gives this an additional tension. Technically well done. All the elements are there for a great shot, but, and I'm not saying this to justify lowering your score (7), I find it not as exciting as I wish it could be. Can't really tell you what lets the picture down. One guess might be the amount of repeating windows or the entirely white windows on the right. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
