Hi Casey,
This is an impressive use of B&W and an economical use of the signature facade of the cathedral at Pisa to make a sharp contrast against the billowing clouds. It might be that the clouds get the better of the argument and we sense that they could envelope the entire structure at a whim.
Having seen this, why not see if you can crop to the figure on the roof lower left perhaps for a new composition if you have the detail! Just a limited set of columns, that figure and angle of the roofline with the on coming clouds might look awesomely prophetic.
Good job!
Asher
BTW, how was this shot?

Hello Casey. I hope you and your girl friend enjoyed Pisa. Lovely isn't it.
I have had my wife stand under it many times. No luck so far.
What do you want me to focus my attention on, in this post. The Cathedral or the clouds.
Both are beautiful. What do you find more important? or is it a 50-50 split?
Me, I am hopeless at clouds! My feet are on the ground. My head not too high!
I would have concentrated on the cathedral..move in close. Fill the frame. Repeating patterns are eye draws. Human nature instinctively tries to arrange things in patterns. Finds them when there are none. Balance for comfort and stability. Imbalanced for dynamic impressions.
Play with paterns of pillars, arches. Light, contrast and shade. There are many interesting possibilities open to you here.
Thanks for sharing.
