You gave it a very dark and gloomy feel, that fits perfectly along the the idea of WW1 or WW2. The picture was well made, in my opinion, but I've seen many black and white pictures before. Even though this is a damn good picture, you still probably can't say that you thought of this all by yourself.
The technique was pretty good, and the vision was pretty good too. I especially like how you contrast the cloud colors in the sky.
But honestly, I felt very sad and gloomy when I saw the picture. That comes mostly from the aesthetic feel of the black and white.
In conclusion, I enjoy the picture very much. Going in my favorites!
The angle of the composition is great, and it's such a versatile picture that even with different crops, such as totally removing the building on the right , would result in still a very interesting picture.
However, the building on the right does something great for balance and contrast -- contrast being the main striking effect of this photo. I find it very interesting that on the light part of the building on the left, the windows are dark, and on the dark part they're light.
The addition of a police car to the picture makes for a very interesting would-be story, and the ragged appearance makes me wonder what this place was like when it was alive, and what happened to it.
Also, I didn't fail to notice the juxtaposed symbol of the cross, defiantly shining from a darkened window, or the black cat crossing the road.
