Hya Dan nice bit of sky my friend. I think you have been too gentle with it in PP. There is loads of impact in those clouds and it looks rather gentle.
If that what you intended then fine. Technically superb.
I have made a version with some impact in the sky but will not post it without your say so.

Thanks for looking and the comments Billy. By all means post it, would like more snap in the sky but not at the expense of the building.

OK Dan as requested This is BW conversion mixed with your color original. If you like your original building color better just use layer mask to brush it through. I found the original brick color a bit over powering and prefer it subdued

Great, this is the direction I hoped you would go with this. I tried a full BW conversion but somehow it looked too flat. Like the brickwork backed up a bit as well, think the original orange would be distracting with the new sky.
