I wrote to Belinda in the comments, "The best one is the bottom image... here is the main thing I'd like you to learn in this class.... Although it is a picture that uses the two buildings, it is much more than just a picture of 2 buildings... it is also a study of contrasts, of repetition and unity, and a whole, coherent design. Finally, a bit of editing strengthens it a lot. Taking the picture is the first step, the editing brings the power of the image home. I will post a quick edit above to demonstrate that...."
Before
After
Click on images to make them full screen.
Straightened vertical lines, cropped out sky on right side, darkened upper right and brought more light towards the center, increased contrast and emphasized the focal point.
I have lots of videos in the Photoshop channel on how to do this...
The editing isn't to be over the top, just enhance the image to balance it for light and focal point....
Yes , I see the difference.
