 Spotted this shot while i was walking with my dog and as soon as i got home i jumped on my bike and went as fast as i could so i wouldn't miss the light.

Editing,
A simple S curve, channel mixer to mono Red 100% Green 18% Blue -18%, some levels, put a saturation layer under the channel mixer layer and pumped the sat up to about +30, cloned out some sensor dust. Then i put the original back on top and set the blending mode to color. (thanks to Djabordjabor for the technique.)

Really a nice image. I love the lines and how my eye goes from the building straight to the sky. Nice repeat pattern as well. The DOF is nice and the focus is spot on. I like how clouds have a sort of 3D look to them. Very nice colors. The blue is nice to the eye. It almost has an abstract feel to it. The only thing I think you should fix is the noise. It seems there is quite a bit of noise in this image. If that was intentional then I am sorry. Maybe through some sort of sharpening or downsizing you lost some data. But a nice image to look at for sure.

Looks like a little too much contrast added to the sky.

Nice lighting. The harshness adds a good feel with the sky. I may have cropped a bit off the right. 7
