Chris,
I like the deceptive, apparent, simplicity of this image. The limited colour pallet and overall symmetry of the subject make for a “so what?” initial impression. Ah – but then we see the detail. The small items of “furniture” on some of the balconies, and the way the overlapping shapes around the top of the building make the edge of the building at top left kinda wobble.
So are those details enough to hold our interest? They might be if the light where a little more interesting. Or maybe if it where night time?

Scroll your mouse up and down the image a few times real fast and you'll see what initially drew my attention. It is a quite drab, lifeless building at night.

That was it...one man in that entire building. At night, there was only two rooms lit after the sun set and I think one of them is for security, hence the deadness at night.

So these must all be holiday homes? Wow - lotsa moolah tied up there. What interests me, apart from that one, lonely figure, is the way the blue changes so much when in sunlight or shade. I wonder if that would be as obvious when we look IRL, or if it is a thing particular to viewing an image. I think this has a lot of potential as a b & w, even though the subject as given is blue on blue.
