Very nice shot. love the sky

 

[sjrw]

I love the clarity, the colours and the perspective. Beautiful shot.

 

[Fred Berg]

Nice.

Regardless whether the distortion was planned, I still think the tilt should be fixed.

Other than that, I don't see anything special about the shot.

Beautiful subject and sky. The distraction is what appears to be a steeply sloped foreground.

I can deal with the distortion; the center lines seem vertical.

.. the center lines seem vertical.

They're not.

I think this is stunning. All I see is a straight building with a very steep road in front, with possibly a small bit of distortion on the far laft side near the first lamp post. Just my 2 cents.

.. the center lines seem vertical.

They're not.

The line nearest the very center of the photo is.

You're a tough one!

I aligned against this window:

The road adjacent to where I'm standing slopes from right down to the left. The hill I'm standing on slopes from the cathedral down behind me. I was about 250 feet away shooting at 18mm

I'm open to suggestions on how to better align it!

 

[Buckster]

It's aligned fine. Some folks can't see the forest for the trees, is all. I wouldn't worry about it.

You can't please everyone, but look at the consensus of opinions on it.

Absolutely. Thanks!

I love it. May I ask what setting you used to capture the lights that way? Did you use a tripod? I'm a beginner. Just bought my first DSLR 2 days ago. I have a Nikon D3100 with the kit lens and would love to shoot similar pics someday.

I tried to remove some of the lens distortion.
