First thing I notice is the strange angle of the building. Without you stating in your photographer's comments what your intentions were, I can only offer my personal opinion, and that would be to have straightened up the building. I also don't know what software you used for editing, but would suggest using a distortion correction tool of some sort. A quick google search will come up with lots of solutions.
It just looks odd leaning like that for no apparent reason. I realize that sometimes it's nice to have a dramatic angle on a photo, but when 1/2 is dramatic angle and the other 1/2 is normalish looking, it seems awkward.
Focus appears good, but it looks oddly sharpened. The vertical lines that are all close together are jagged and almost hurt the eyes.
It is an interesting building, and would love to see more detail in the building. Maybe closer up? Instead of the entire building get just a part of the building?
The color seems bland. I mean, the sky is bright, almost too bright, but there is just nothing that really stands out to me in this photo. It doesn't draw me in and hold my attention for long.
Were you figing with the lighting conditions? The almost too bright sky and the dullish colors make me think that it wasn't ideal shooting conditions. Not your fault, but maybe could have tried at a different time of day?
Overall, interesting building, but just not sucking me in.

Would be so much better in my opinion if the tower was straight
really nice exposure
good luck

Nice image, almost works. But I would have adjusted to let the front be straighter, and the back canted. This gives the feel that its a leaning tower... it could be, but I have no clue. everything else seems fairly ok.

Don't like the effect of the wide angle lens here. Might want to look into using software to fix it.

Great image, nice lighting, and structure, but the camera angle makes this unbalanced to my eye.

The Landcodechurch :) The sky is too burnt out, the composition isn't very good and the sharpness is weird. Next time, try to have the composition as simple as you can.

You get some points for being Icelandic.

Image looks a little soft. Not very fond of the angle and your blues look unnatural (over saturated maybe?)
