What beautiful architecture you have in your area.

Just a note of things to watch: your horizon. The building is REALLY leaning.
This would have been a stunning HDR.

The trees are too blacked out to make out much on the camera left side of the image. Seems to really take away from the image. Maybe if they were lightened just a bit more they wouldn't be so distracting.
If you get back there try and HDR of this, I bet it'll be fantastic.

The people in the lower part of the image help to give the heavy side of the image a bit of balance, they add a nice depth to the image also. It would have been missing that without them.
I like where you chose to place them in the image.
