The second is an interesting shot, the graffiti is cool, but it would be just a straight photo of someone else’s art were it not with the first photo.
With the first photo, the second becomes a detail shot of an urban environment. However I feel the first shot is weak.With the first shot the eye is drawn onto the back of the basketball board, one of the least interesting parts of the photo.
Perhaps you could of avoided the board a bit more, but still with this composition you would move to the sky. The perspective lines lead that way.Sometimes with urban documentary a straight-on shot works better. Draw the viewer in, rather than across the photo.
You might want them to wander around a bit (rather than across), with all the detail in this scene.
I’m thinking perhaps a straight-on shot of the layers from ground up, picking somewhere with some outstanding feature/graffiti as an anchor in the picture.I might be talking nonsense, but urban environment shot is something I’m thinking about these days. I’m not trying to come off as any expert.
I got similar advice in a photo recently, but about somewhere I can easily return to. With travel photos, it seems bad to suggest to someone to use a different angle. :)
Just my opinion, I hope it helps

I agree with Martin on the first shot. I think a straight on shot with the 3 or 4 layers balaconies of mixed colours could have made an interesting abstract etc..
DeeThanks for the honest review Martin. I was focusing on the juxtaposition and missed the lead in.
