i really want to like this and just can't seem to get it right.

to set the stage.... this if one of my favorite building in town, a bank built in 1827, now used by Actors Theatre. the sun i high and behind the building to the left. the light on the building is reflected by a glass front building directly in front of it. i have done some cropping to take out a flare in the upper left and a little of the dark street in the foreground, as well as adjust the brightness and contrast.

any thoughts?

Needs to be straightened a little.

hmm, needs to be straightened, the fire hydrant is fairly distracting and the fedex truck and car defineatly has to go. the building itself is beautiful and i can see why you want to capture it.the shading on the building also looks good in my oppinion.
my suggestion would be to go up alot closer and take a shot looking up, so you can eliminate all the distractions such as people, cars, fire hydrants etc..
