Greetings from the Critique Club :)
Composition:
I think the composition is not too bad, although I find the heavy inward tilt a little too distracting it almost makes the building / model look skewed front to back as well as inwards from the edges which takes a while to adjust to. Also the chosen angle has forced you to have a tilted look to the shot, which obviously can work in some circumstances but I feel that as you have had to frame so tight it hasn't worked as well as it could have.
Camera Work:
Nicely exposed and I really like that you managed to retain detail in the shadow area under each arch.
Post-Processing:
I think overall your post work on this shot was really good, I like the detail you have in the building and the textures look good, considering this is a model I think you have done an excellent job of making it look real. The sky has some banding on the left side and I am not sure if this is due to the background chosen (if this is shot inside with a fake background) or to the limitations of file size (I suspect the latter).
My Opinion:
Had you not mentioned that this was a model I probably wouldn't have known any differently, as I do not know if this was taken indoors or is a commercial model and is outside I will only say that the lighting is excellent and very realistic.
I think to improve on the score the shot would have needed to have been taken from slightly more to the left as I believe this would have minimised the effect of the distortion, in my opinion that is what has cost you the most in your final score and a close second would be the banding in the sky.
Good luck in future challenges!
