Sunrise, with wide angle.

I like this shot. Not sure if any post has been done, but it might be helpful to straighten the building distortion on the left side of the photo - if only to minimize (or maybe even eliminate) the bright sky seems to demand my attention.
 
^I did some distortion control in post, but I agree not enough.

Also, shot might be more dramatic a bit earlier in the morning- the sunlight has gotten too prominent on the left side, to my eye.

If I re-shoot, I'll post to this thread. Thanks!
 
If you can shoot from further back, that will give you more space to correct distortion - it will also lead to you not having to raise the camera by as much resulting in less distortion to correct :)
 
Interesting lines and building. As noted the perspective distortion was amplified by the use of the wide angle. Only two options on this type of shoot. Back off some and shoot from a higher vantage point. The closer you can come to holding your camera level the less you'll need to adjust post. The other is to use the distortion as an artistic element of the image. Maybe coming in close on a horizontal shot of just the windows, or vertical upshot of the front. Don't be afraid of moving around and experimenting.
 
Peeb, did you make corrections to the sky? If so, it looks like you missed a spot, under the cross on top of the bell tower.
