New to architecture photography, Constructive criticism needed

Hi guys,
From few months i am really excited about architecture and interior photography and i want to learn everything about it so i can make a living from it one day. It's a blue hour shot taken with sony a7r, 22mm, f8, iso 50.
I have blended few different exposures from different time of the day for the sky, interior lights and i tried to flash paint over the benches on the right side of the photo. I have left few people moving on the left side because i wanted to give a sense of scale for the building. All the verticals are corrected in photoshop using rulers. I think that's about it, so please give me your opinion?
Thank you

It's a solid comp. I feel the facade is just a bit underexposed. Simply lifting the blacks, crushing the highlights, and darkening the sky will centralize the exposure. Here's a dirty lightroom edit for quick visual reference:

Thank you for your comments E Port. I think that you are right, i will play a little bit more in Lightroom!
Chears!

Look pretty good. I especially like the detail of getting the guy walking as a blur. I'm not sure the building but the left side street looks off to me on the line of the roof. Unless that roof does have some curve / angle to it.

Curious for the 22 was that the 16-35 or using an adapted lens? I've got the 28-70 and an old Quantary 24 but looking into something wider.

Hi Ryan Waxberg,
You are right about the line on the roof, it does look strange. Maybe it deformed when i fixed the verticals in the photo!
About the lens, it is Sony Ziess fe 16-35 but i didn't want to shoot that wide!
Anyway thank you for the comments!
Cheers!

Pretty solid, I certainly agree with E-Port regarding the exposure.

The blurred people on the left are a nice touch, but what would be really dynamic is if you had a blurred person walking through the lower right portion of the frame. This space is pretty empty, which isn't terrible, but something subtle would be nice down there.
