This type of shot is unfortunately overdone and you've not really added anything special here which makes this particular one stand out.

Taken on it's own, it's a nice shot, well composed, feels like you are standing half way up (I don't know this building, just the impression I'm getting) and a wider more dramatic feel would have helped.

The lighting is good and even, though not always what you want in a setting like this. Some dramatic shadows help give this sort of architecture a bit of character.
