Ah yes! For me, this one works in a powerful way. The vertical lines and textures of the buildings (with diagonal light? rays) create a strong composition. The tiny flag in color is the perfect focal point and contrast to the rest.

I'm guessing a telephoto lens- do you notice the "pin cushion" distortion?
The vertical lines are curving inwards. This is such a common lens problem
that Photoshop (and other programs) have a tool to fix it.

Beautiful shapesss that are very well complemented by the tones of the buildings.

Usually not a fan of selective color but this works for me. Just need to fix your vertical lines.

Normally don't much care for selective color, perhaps because it looks unnatural and calls attention to itself. But this is very effective. Yes, the buildings could actually be drab and gray, which may be giving my realism-craving brain the "out" it's looking for (my problem, not yours), but the placement of the flag and its flowing diagonals also create a strong contrast and focus, bringing the composition together. Like it!
