Don - I sometimes zero in on posts that have no responses, so figured I'd check this one out.

I think the subject matter is worthy in both. I don't particularly like your composition or angle on the top one, seems too 'shot from head elevation/ 5 feet above the ground.' The flowers also seem more in the way than complimentary.

Number 2 is better - I like the simplistic, flat look that the sun has on this building (also caused by the paint) and the soothing colors of the brick and the blue window coverings. I am not sure about the angle it has - I think the ideal shot here would have been a direct angle, perhaps you shooting it from 15 feet up (however you would pull that off!). It also seems a bit basic in how much space you left on the sides. There are more creative croppings that you could have used -- use your imagination. I like how no one is in the shot.
