Take your shot at this

I took this picture awhile back and thought I might be able to make something of it. I think I've failed. I've never been very good at this, so I'm wondering what others might be able to do with it. So please tell me if it's hopeless - or, copy it and show me what you can do. The first picture is the original and the second picture is one attempt of mine using Photoshop.
Regards, Mike L.

One attempt...

Sorry, Mike, but I cannot see anything interesting in the pic. If there had been something, say a cat, sitting in one of the windows, it would have at a subject of interest. At the moment, it just a set of windows without an interesting focal point.

Yeah, I agree. Personally I don't think it's a good idea to 'rescue' or 'make something out of' the image by altering it in Photoshop. I'd say go back and shoot again, but be more creative next time. Good luck! :)

Okay, so it needs a cat in the window. Hmmm, so that ghost doesn't work well ? Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated.

A cat makes it quaint, not necessarily any good.

I tried this:
