Not sure which section to put this one in! Just wondering what your opinions are of fixing the perspective on wide angle shots (you know, that look of the buildings leaning backwards when you tilt the camera up, etc).
I have this shot, which is taken at 10mm with my Sigma 10-20. Since the camera was pointing down a bit, the windows look like they are getting narrower near the bottom. I fixed this in Gimp, but I can't decide which shot I like better, the original, or the fixed one. The original seems more dramatic to me. Also, on the fixed one, the bottom of the frame looks a little bit stretched or something, plus it seems to lose the drama of the wide angle lens, and there is a side effect of losing some of the shot when fixing it.
Anyway, I'd be interested to hear what you guys would do with a shot like this and do you usually correct the distortions of wide angle lenses.
Here is the original, followed by the corrected version:
