I think the bottom with the trees distracts me from the great looking top of the chimney. I would fill the frame with the VALLEY letters. Looks a bit dark as well.
Looks like a gloomy day Seb which has not given the chimney the glow. It seems flat and the skyless sky does'nt help matters. So, being so gloomy, I wonder if B/W and a curves lift might give it a little more life.

I see the lighted areas of the chimney giving it its title. Hmmm, hard to say why, but it is just not very impactful or interesting. I do not have a problem with the gloomy sky, as Tom brought up. I feel like the composition is ok here. . .I can't pin it down, but it's just ok, i guess. Sorry for the big help here.
Honnestly, this is more of a leftover that I decided to work on than something I really care about. I will agree that the sky hurts here. I darkened it on purpose but there were no details to retrieve. On the other hand, I felt that the trees line at the bottom was interesting due to its shape.
This is an interesting shot. I think it might benefit from having the chimney straightened (horizon line be damned). I also think that you might try a bit of dodge on the "glowing" parts to make them stand out more.
