Congratulations. You have your first Challenge under your belt and it didn't hurt a bit, did it!
I like your image; it reminded me of some pleasant times in India with those arches and colors. I very much like the darkness within the arch which is matched beautifully by the dark trees to the far right.
And yes, as your commentors suggested, you included lots of information in this image. I too, would simple it down quite a bit. For example, wait until those birds have either settled onto the roof or flown away. Then, I wonder if the "Burst of Color" effect would have been intensified by a much lower sky crop and another crop to the left to eliminate that chimney. Because the moon, the facade and the black tree are extremely effective without the distractions. Try it and see if you like the composition better.
Still, it's an interesting image and a great location. If you live nearby, you might well have fun shooting a lot of images of this building.
Welcome to DPC, and I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.
