Wow--that's one powerful flash. It's only 3-4 flights so stairs wouldn't be too bad :-). I like the coloring

a pitty the shadow of another building can be seen, and I would have liked to see the whole building;

i would have liked this picture better if you had not cropped the sides off

(I'm making an attempt to explain why I give any photo 3 or less. Obviously I won't like these photos, but DPC is a place to learn a) about what works in this environment and b) about what other individuals think. Please don't be despondant just because I don't like your shot. Rather than that, if your entry scored low, please try and understand one commentor's reasons.)
You've met the challenge topic. But the lack of perspective control is off-putting. I don't think that we're allowed to change perspective in PS in basic editing. In this case, shoot a much wider area and crop. Your title doesn't work for me as it implies a building of many floors. This present building is rather smaller. Finally, and the biggest reason my score for this was a 3, it don't get any sense of wonder, amusement, intrigue or enjoyment. It seems that you've just taken a photo of a building from the ground without much thought about how interesting the final photograph might be.

Image is tilted to the right, that should be straightened out.

I like the shadow on the front, but the shot feels a bit awkward from the skew?

Great colors. One of my favorites.
