This was the building I wanted to enter for the Bizarchitecture challenge however the sky was crud when I shot it for the challenge. I've always wanted to get a decent shot of this building because it is interesting with its knife-like edge on its south eastern corner.

I studied this one for a while trying to figure out how to improve it. Shots like this can really shine, but they do seem to be very sky dependent. So the sky here does let us down (although it's not as homogenous as your other building shot "Glass and Steel"). The colors here also don't add and that always makes me think B&W. Your composition is probably just fine. I'll offer two shots to compare to. Compositionally both are similar to this (actually bspurgeon's is probably better than both of ours). Compare and come away with your own conclusions.
What futuristic find you photographed. Good one. I really like the way you actually continued the 'in the future' look with your colorful processing. the cloud formations and sky coloring worked in your favor as well.
I wonder if that dark shadow (another cloud?) in the lower right section of your image bothered your score? Maybe the building just has that coloration or perhaps something else cast a shadow, but unexplained dark area may have been a distraction to our voting public.
It is an interesting building and you captured it well.
Very nicely composed and toned. My only nitpick is that it looks oversharpened. There are a number of techniques, one that I think would be nice here is where you resize down to twice the size of the intended websized resolution, sharpen up twice and then apply the final resize. Some people call it Adamus sharpening.
