This picture is one of my personal favorites. The vast, open expanse of the rooftops invites many different perspectives, yet this technique forces the viewer to focus on one small aspect. However, it differs from other techniques of directing attention, which typically rely on physical objects in its surroundings to frame the perspective. Instead, it constructs its own “frame” from the background light. Furthermore, with this technique, the center of the image seems to be actively engaging with its backdrop; everything seems to “ripple” away from one fixed point in the image.

Good try in different techniques and angles, I love the perspective one, which may be an interesting methodology to document a place! Yet a focus of 1-2 element / concepts can link your photos stronger as one set.
