This is definately different. I'm not sure it appeals to me on a personal level. Just not my thing.
The first thing I notice is the horizontal divide of the photo. I'm thinking that in my opinion it might be just slightly TOO perfectly divided. It's got a good balance of light and dark, but the part that really draws the most attention from me, is the horizontal meeting line between light and dark, and that is not really where I'd think the main focal point would be.
I think the angle is good. I like that it's kind of got a mysterious feel to it, like we are really unsure of exactly what we're looking at.
Focus seems soft overall. I think this might be better with a crisp focus and sharp lines.
Not sure WHY you chose black and white since you didn't state your intentions for the photo in your details. But I think this could benefit from some color. Was the sky blown out or bland? Maybe shooting at a different time of the day might help?
Again, I'm only going on personal opinion and assumptions since you have not left me anything more in the comments.
Overall interesting shapes, but I'm just not feeling it.

Depth of field for this is icky, could use more contrast, and doesn't really show architecture. to me it looks like a bunch of empty chairs.
