Two fresh Images need some critique

for image 2 I found it very to do a perfect symmetric style when I was composing the picture, is there a way to improve on it? How do I change the distorted perspective a bit in Lightroom?

I don't know the answers to your questions but I really like the geometry of the first one

#1 is a phenomenal geometric abstract

#2 very well processed. Some motion ghosting in the hall? Intentional? If not, can be masked out. Also, I can't shake the feeling that the horizon is off center.

Looks like it's slightly tilted right.

I gave straightening a shot. A bit difficult given the geometry, lack of symmetry, and distortion. But slightly better maybe: I used the bar dead center as my point of reference for leveling it.

really useful tips XD

I don't mind the bit of ghosting with the figures, it adds a bit of live (no pun intended) and energy which is difficult with hdr work.

I agree on the moving people. That adds to it.

As for #1, I can't decide whether I'm looking in, down or up Only that light bothers me a bit.

You should make a print out of #1!
