I think the first photo is an interesting, unusual, modern landscape. The second shot is of much less appeal to me, mainly because it's so...well. "commonplace". The first one though, wow, those odd roof spires up close, and the distant white fence...just really an odd shot, and it makes me wonder about where it is, and other things. The first shot is unique. I have NEVER, in my life, seen a photo like it, while the second looks like many images I've seen.
