To me (and of course everything about this is my own opinion, probably out of kilter with the rest of humanity or outright wrong), the angle it too harsh - unless you're trying to really build a sense of drama/conflict/unease in the viewer.

The colours could do with a bit more of a pop, perhaps a contrast adjustment to really bring them out?

It's good, but would be much better if cropped square taking out the chimney pots and probably rotating 90 deg ccw. Have a go and cover the chimneys up with your hands!

I think it looks fine as a daigonal but with the chimneys removed, and the buildings fitting both corners.

I prefer the second in landscape, though in my opinion I would crop out the dark cream building edging in on the left hand side.

Regards
Andy

Hey Jerry,

I like the first one better but as said before a little tighter on the crop would work for me. Is there any way to pop the buildings a little as they look a little dull (in colour) against the bright blue sky.

I like it though. I like jaunty angles!
