I'd appreciate comments on how this struck you, and any thoughts, changes beyond that.

Interesting. I didn’t like it at all at first, but it sort of grows on me. Perhaps the angle is a bit harsh for me; I’d prefer something more straight-on, I think.

Interesting shot. First thought: “That’s way too high to escape from.” Second thought: “What type of building is this? A factory, a prison, a what?” This photo just makes you think.

The shades of blue in the window remind me strongly of a particular Rothko painting.

I like the basic idea. If this was my shot, I would have shot it vertically. The window about 2/3 up in the shot. With a bit of sky showing. For me it definitely is a minimalist image.

All very helpful and appreciated. I just liked the shot as I looked up, but I think a reason might be its minimalist simplicity, yet pushing that into a dynamic direction, in contrast to Rothko's quiet contemplation. The color, in both sky and window did strike me, so I removed a drainpipe and air conditioner.

I like your minimalistic presentation and the blue of the sky. Bev

For the past 100 years(it seems) I've been beating my head against a brick wall, trying to develop a technique for creating believable skies in photoshop.
Your image says it well!!

That being said, I like it for its lack of clutter

Thanks. I've been noticing recently, after catching a view out a small office window, that the color of the sky is more amazing when not part of the usual landscape photo, but isolated.

I really think that I would crop this so that the window is in the lower left rule of thirds intersection. To me the lower right and the upper left do not add much to your composition. I would also think about straightening the window. I like it.
