I'm not sure.
What do you want to hear now?
The photo looks very nice and has a very interesting point of view.
Maybe you can make a black and white version or a version with sepia colors?

The dark space on the bottom left is a bit too much imo. Maybe if you aimed the camera towards the pipe on the right so that the window was on the left hand side you would get a bit more interest in the shot (and no dark space) whilst still retaining the feel of the image and having a stong composition. On the same point - giving the main window a bit more room by having the one on the right closed might also help a bit to isolate it in the scene as the subject.
Also - it might be cool to see if you can clear the grill of everything which makes it non-uniform... my vision for this type of shot is simplicity - you have a grill, a window and a pipe... nothing else... except the wall which provides a uniform canvas.
As for the shot it is very disorientating which is either a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it ;) personally once i realised what i was looking at i started to appreciate it more...
I'm not going to go into post processing as i realise that previous CC threads tended towards a glorified DITI thread...
hope that helps :)

Thanks X-PaX & Inshaala.
Inshaala, you give me a very nice idea, clear this grill..What do you think about the angle of view? I think I need to rotate a little, but not sure.

I agree with Rich. Once I realized what I was looking at, I started to wish it has been taken from another angle to enhance the composition. The slight tilt can work with some images, but the strong straight lines in this one don't compliment it for me. Perhaps getting directly beneath the widow and centering it in the composition would give it a more balanced feel. While the highlights are a bit bright, I feel you did well with the exposure and depth of field here.

Yes, I think so. Before yesterday, when I make this picture, I had a trouble with the lighting from the sun, a my 14h48 and the lighting in Seville is so hard, is for that I buy a filter bW for to put in my lens. and yes, in the top we see a lot lighitng and white...
I'm go to try for make that in b&w and change a little with my program this sky

it´s a very interesting pic you shot for constructive critique...it´s very hard to get an acceptable finish (at least for me :-) ...)
sadly the pipe on the right is away in my version, but after croping and rotating the pic there was a lacker of substance...
try a version with negative print, it looks funny i think
sorry for my bad english!
