thanks for your comments and suggestions.

Hi Jon! Speaking very personally, I like this a lot. I like the contrast between the sharp geometry of the architecture and the clean, deep blue cloud-flecked sky. I wonder if some might not be so captivated; I feel this is the kind of picture you either like a lot or don't

I too like this Jon and for much the same reasons as Ian has mentioned. Its also about light and shadow as well as the colour, shape and form. Yes I really like it. I imagine Pewidane might do too

It really is a text book light and shade photograph and it's sheer simplicity makes it a winner.

I love it for all the reasons that have already been mentioned and, in addition to those, the 'texture' in the sky created by the wisps of clouds againt the deep blue.

That sky texture is almost like an 'embossed' fabric. A truly beautiful backdrop for the architecture.

Light and shade, with textural detail to stop it being 'just' shapes. It has all been said, so I'll just say "I like it a lot".
