The thing I liked about this one in voting (I gave it a 6) was the reflection in the upper windows - really made this more than just a building shot, in my opinion. Skewsme's suggestions are interesting - particularly the one about a cow on the roof....

Hi Bob
I liked this and gave it a 6. The red light is so pretty on the bricks and the line of blue windows is really cool. Good color complementation with the rust and the blue sky. With advanced or expert editing, one thing to to consider is that you can lightly hand-burn some of the details back into the building, and clone out that lone ceiling light in the middle. Oh and with expert editing, if you're a lunatic like me, you might put something comical in one of the windows or on the roof - somebody waving or something, or a cow.... ;-)

Bob,
I felt when voting that there was somthing slightly askew on the perspective and that it may be just a tad underexposed. However, I love the blue line of windows - adds a lot of drama. It's an interesting shot with a lot of potential.

as per below if the building was the only element this would have been more punchy. nice colour on the building though

I think this would have been better if you only included the building in your frame, with no sky visible. It's a really nice photo though.

Your subject takes up most of the frame, but it doesn't fill the frame to me. I like the warm lighting, looks like a sunrise or sunset saturation. The dark building in the lower right corner is bothersome.

Tighter crop to fill the frame would have made it more appropriate in this challenge for me

Requires a little correction to the perspective, which I guess you could have done in 'Expert'.
