Re: Landscape photography of the opera house

I like the presence of the people, they give some life and story to the photos.

I like the blurred people in the second one, but wish they were all blurred, unless there is a deliberate attempt to draw attention to unblurred ones as a subject of the scene (like the couple in the far center).

I like the leading foreground of the second one.

The main thing that is jarring to me in the first photo is that it is looking right but the right is truncated. Placement in the second one feels better.

The distracting thing in the second one is wondering what the guy is doing with his backpack, which distracts from the story. Best if they were a couple sitting close, dreaming (or something like that). But of course you cannot control what other people are doing, other that wait for a different "decisive moment."

You have a few hot pixels in the second which distract, which are of course easily cleaned up.

This might have been a good scene to do a composite (if you are not against or uninterested in such a thing).
