I'm not wure what to do with this photo. My friends say it's fine, but I'd like some expert advice.
I only adjusted the levels a bit.

Advanced critiques are good.

I like how the photo is a little unclear, like the sun behind it is making it hard to see.
In the compostion, I see two things that are not ideal. The main point of focus is in the exact center and overwhelms the rest of the picture in it's intensity.
The second area of focus is the construction/deconstruction going on just to the right and up from the sun. My eye wants to see it better, but it keeps getting drawn away by the sun, then it goes back to the construction. Ping-pong, ping-pong.
I like how you have used the lighter shade near the top to give a height to the sky that the sun is not at the top of, yet put the nearer objects obviously closer yet darker. You have made then look sinking down rather than receding with their darkness.
It would be better if my eye could flow throughout the picture. I suggest more asymetry of value and detail.

Personally I'd fix the small building in the middle bottom. This was shot with a mobile?
