Both 30 seconds at ISO 100. The wider shot is 16mm, f18. The closer one is 20mm, f16 and is a blend of three shots to get the most dynamic range possible…
It is the wider view for me.
I am going to move this to the non-nature category, since it is overwhelmingly the hand of man in content.
A lovely shot, either way. The blue and the yellow/gold is such a gorgeous combination. The lines in the walkway are wonderfully dynamic and offer such depth to the image. In answer to your question, I much prefer the wider shot. In the narrower one, the star burst on the right just feels too cramped, which makes me feel a tad uneasy. That being said, with the wider shot I might consider cropping a bit on the left as the column on the building feels a little short of breathing space, though that is a very minor nit.
Thanks. I agree completely about the lamp on the right hand side @Kerry_Gordon . Unfortunately I only took the one wider shot before trying to simplify and zoom in a little more but didn’t quite realise how much I’d cramped the light.
Living and learning. 
I also think the wider view has just that much more presence, Vikki. At 16mm I feel the sense of space is more powerful - the eye takes just a touch longer to reach the tower at the end, and I like that effect. Very nice image !
