I get feeling from the flat roof, that the image is not level - Not sure whether this is real or an illusion on my part, but is disturbs me a little.

If you took the image at a little higher angle you would get more of the interesting sky and less of the not-so-interesting foreground building. Just a thought.

Once you brought my attention to it, Robert, I too had the impression that the building is "falling" to the right, but then I checked the lines that are supposed to be vertical and they all are just so, so reckon the slanting roof is the result of perspective distortion (Eugenio's camera wasn't parallel to the plain of the building -- the lens must have been pointing at an angle closer to 45 than to 90 degrees.) 

As for the buildings in the foreground, I actually like them more than the sky; I see them as essential for environmental context, underscoring the grandiose domination of the cathedral.  The sky provides the final touch, but there's just enough of it.
