Restored shophouses, Singapore

I have a version of this image taken from a slightly different angle

.

Which one is better? Personally, I can't quite decide if I should

favor the greater symmetry of the alternate version, or the better

color range, slight gap and bizarre cloudpuff of this one.

This is pretty cool stuff. I imight crop the sides to lose the unrelated building on the left and the unpainted portion below the water pipe on the right. I like the angle a lot. Very cool.
