That's nice.  But you lost some very beautiful tones in the upper left clouds.  

The subtlety of the sky is what I like in this shot.

Yes, but I'm not convinced you can make a photograph stand on the sky alone... That's why I'd have gone closer and shot lower - so you'd get the tower more prominent, but all the sky in as well. For me sunsets need something in the foreground layer to really work as photographs - but then that's me ;)

Hit 'Reply' and look at R4 vs. R5.  R5 is more a grabber, but R4 is a shot that I'd stand in front of for a while just to enjoy the wonderful shades and tones in the clouds.

I'm not arguing that one doesn't need something on the ground to anchor the sky.  And I agree that setting the shot up so that the tower was the dominant feature of the ground might have made a great shot.  But she was shooting from her room's window....
