Scrolling through the thumbnails, this image stood out to me immediately and with enough power that it made me want to view it in full size which is unusual because I don't usually do that, but rather vote in order.

With that said, this is really beautiful. The tone throughout the image is expertly manipulated to make it stand out just enough from the rest. The level of sharpness is also top notch and I really love how the lights and shadows here really make everything stand out so beautifully. Finally, the clouds look so great here, they bring a certain power to the building that I don't quite know how else to describe.

All in all, excellent image!
