Like: The idea.
Dislike: There's something off about the lighting.

Were these apartments or offices?

You have to tell us what that debris falling really is. I can't believe it's just raining building everywhere :-)

I like this entry. It has good pattern and rhythm to it. There are some things that I find odd... There is a lack of detail in the pile of debris. The pile seems to have lost it's texture. Overall the photo has a lot of grey and dark without much whites. Did you do something weird to the contrast in PP? Also what is with splotches in the shadows? Did you apply a texture overlay to this image?
