While an interesting building, the leaning-over effect of the wide angle is a bit much in my opinion. That, however can be easily corrected in photoshop. Make the image a little smaller than the window it is in (the zoom level) then select the image and go to:
edit -> transform -> perspective (at least this is what I remember--I don't have photoshop running at the moment, but this should be close),
then you can grab the top (left or right) corner and stretch the image until the building lines are vertical. That would improve the image a lot (unless you like the converging lines effect).
Hey Craig. I love the contrasting architecture here. I do get Roger's point, but I tend to like the "converging lines" effect of wide-angle lenses in most cases, even here...so in the end you have to go with what you feel works best for how you want it conveyed. Most "commercial" architecture photography is done with the aid of tilt-shift lenses if I am not mistaken...
Roger and Morkel thanks for your comments - Will look into your suggestion Roger, image is un-cropped at the moment.
See why the Tilt-Shift lens comes into it's own with architecture photography
Here is a perspective correction. I had to do a small clockwise rotation first before the perspective correction worked properly. To me it makes the building more interesting.
