One of my favorite subjects for photos is architecture. I still have a hard time judging angles, what is (for lack of better term) appropriate, I know this would be something subjective but I tend to distort the building, or would this be more a result of the lens or just perspective.

I have adjusted this photo to try and "straighten" it out.

Thaks again for having a look.
Hey Craig,

I think you've done well with the straightening. The most obvious lines in the photo are the vertical windows, and you've done a great job aligning them with the edge of the frame. When you start looking at the middle of the pic though and the right edges of those windows...

I think shadows are one of the hardest things for me to pre-visualise before I take the shot. Somehow, they always seem to come out darker and more obvious than what my eye saw originally - probably because our brains automatically filter them out. Big Grin
