Greetings from the Critique Club! :)
What a fascinating find...such interesting structures and textures. I think, just from first glance, I'd offer these suggestions to make this image come alive.
Your composition from left to right is OK, but from top to bottom is rather static. Your "roofs" cut the image in half, with them at the bottom and the sky on the top. I realize you want to include as much of that dramatic sky as possible, but the challenge is Architecture and the sky is really secondary in the image as far as the voters are concerned. Tilting the camera down and losing some of the sky (see the rule of thirds) would make it more visually dynamic.
The buildings themselves are rather flatly lit and have little light on them. Shooting at a time of day when the light is a golden hue or a pale pinkish hue would add a lot of magic to the scene. You might not have as great a sky for a background, but then again, for this challenge anyway, the sky is less important than the subject, which is the interesting roof/buildings. Adjusting levels, curves, and some intricate dodging and burning would go a long way to add drama.
I think you have a good eye for finding neat things to shoot...keep up the good work and if you have any questions, let me know! :)
Take care,
Laurie
