I thought very much the same as Boris when I looked at this one.
The word I thought of was "snapshot". That's not a bad thing; it just strikes me as something you'd bring out after a trip and show relatives: "And heres' the City Hall Tower in (insert city name here). Right after I took this we went to a little Bistro (French or Russian origin?) and the waiter insulted us..."
I must say, it's a well executed snapshot. Nice and sharp, the colours of the tower are nice. As Boris said, however, the sky is really washed out and not at all attractive to me. It needs to be blue. Or there should be some clouds or something angry to make it interesting.
But, as is, the photo "just is", as Boris so aptly put it.
cheers, frank

Attila (finally I know how to spell it), I have a word, if you permit.
To me it looks like the image that just is. It does not have much emotion or meaning in it. It is just an image of a nice looking building unfortunately taking on a day when skies were rather dull looking.
I think I would take out the little antenna just on the right to the flag on top of the building.
Other than that, as I said - it is just is...
Hope I make at least some minimal sense.
Boris
