Basically crop, a lot of playing with hue/saturation to get the sky and colouring the way you see it, done uniformly to the entire image so it is legal. Then shadow/highlight and sharpen, then noise ninja. resize for web, add border.
I have no idea why this challenge was done under basic editing. It could have been a much better photo.
My prediction is that it will be about 5.7. Time will tell...

Very pretty building. Actually the pigeons kind of bug me to be quite honest. The sky is a killer in this too. Oh how I wish it was blue. Perhaps a different approach with the streetsign in the middle of it may have helped as well. The building is great, and I would definately shoot it again if I were you. Try some tight detail work, and different angles though!
Back to comment. I think the movement of the birds adds a lot of interest to this shot that it wouldn't have otherwise - good choice. My eye wishes the shot were a little wider (but maybe I wouldn't if I saw what was on either side! :). Gave this 7
