The centered composition makes it kind of static, try looking for other angles. The red brick roof is kind of interesting, perhaps using more of the roof would add interest. Also you should watch your horizon, which while not visable here, but seems to be off as the tower seems to be leaning left.
The border is really wide and takes my eye away from the photo. The best borders are so complimentaty to the photo that you do not notice them.
Here is my tower, while we are all comparing them (it has its own problems).

I notice that it is I minutes after X, which seems a little odd. : )
It's just not that exciting of a subject is possibly the problem. I would have tried to compose with more in the shot, perhaps a wider view, maybe same focal length and further back, so that the top of the clock tower would show in the shot, to help the tower look complete.
Here is a recent one of the local tower which is similar, but has more in it for interest, and shot at a different time of day.

Even before I started thinking about the mirrored image, I wanted to see the time of the day when the photo was taken... ( I guess I always do that with watch/clock photos). The hours need re-mirroring on this one!
Also, I flipped it locally, and do not see major appeal difference when flipped.

| The question I have to ask is: Why did you mirror the image? |

| A minor change, but I would have straightened the closest corner/edge. You have the left corner pretty vertical, but it makes the tower look like it's leaning. Straightening using the near corner, and perhaps doing some lens correction would help focus interest. I see some noise in the upper-left sky that could benefit from noise reduction also. Hope this helps. |
