Looks real good, but to be really convincing you'll need some debris, or at
least some movement in the dust/smoke giving the appearance of debris
flying through it...

Otherwise I think it's a really good explosion...especially the slow
settling of the  dust/smoke...

The only way you can see shockwaves in this type of explosion is simply by
a front of movement in objects surrounding the explosion emanating out
circlewise from the explosion. The shockwave of compressed air and the
flashes come from nuclear explosions as seen in Hollywood, but also in real
life, and that just wouldn't fit this anim... (as in the building shouldn't
be standing after the explosion if it were a nuclear one)

Very nice work...
