I took this photo recently on my first visit to Sydney. All crits and comments will be welcomed. I am considering a tighter crop excluding the right pillar of the harbour bridge?

Lovely job, Elmar. Love the sky and water. Bridge pillar anchors it for me - may be worth trying an adjustement to get it vertical

Hi Elmar Lovely image !!!!

First thing I thought regarding the pillar is what Tony said, bridge needs to be anchored, just like including a tree with no ground !!! ... in PS will be easy to correct perspective !!

Thanks everyone for the comments, much appreciated. I am battling a bit with getting the perspective right. The version I posted already includes some adjustments as I had some lens distortion due to the wide angle at 12mm. Any suggestions on how I can improve the angle of the pillar. I played around with the "correct camera distortion" filter in photoshop. But its a balancing act between keeping the city buildings straight as well as trying to improve the perspective on the pillar.
