Photographer’s Note
King Juan Carlos (Juan Carlos Alfonso Víctor María de Borbón y Borbón-Dos Sicilias; pron. IPA: born January 5, 1938), is the reigning King of Spain. Two days after the death of Francisco Franco on November 20, 1975 Juan Carlos was designated King according to the law of succession promulgated by Franco. He successfully oversaw the transition of Spain to a democratic constitutional monarchy.
Juan Carlos also claims the title of King of Jerusalem, as the successor to the royal family of Naples. He is also a direct descendant of Queen Victoria through his grandmother Victoria Eugenie, and Louis XIV of France through his family name, Bourbon.
It was about King and this is his...apartment in Madrid ;-)))

I always like a shot where the object is in the bright sun and dark skies are behind, emphasizing the "shining" quality. The shimmering puddles help with that effect too. The spots in the sky are distracting though, and somehow I think you needed a little more sharp detail, with all those straight lines in the building. The title, on the other hand, is an eye-catcher with this photo. Thanks for the history lesson. :)

Nice photo,
You could delete those points on the sky (middle-right) with PS or similar ;)
