Late October, 2012. I applied some perspective change since it was shot wide angle. Do you think it effects this photo?

Whatever you did must have improved it because it is a dang nice image!!

Old Bob out in Lost Wages

Some of my favorite images I've taken are wide angle shots. Kinda funny that most of them were of the train approaching and I shot early trying to get a "parade" effect. Our eyes see more than the approaching train and so should the camera.

What Bob said! Very nicely done.

What I did was....make lines VERTICAL (parallel) across the photo, instead of having the elevator and building walls tilt inward. I think that our eyes correct that perspective lean in our minds, but sometimes, in a photo, it is distracting, Of course, too much and it looks (in our minds) like the buildings are tilting OUT. The tool to do the perspective correction may be in PSE, but I havn't found it. I use ACDsee and it is an easy tool to use.

Very Nice!

A big improvement, beautiful!

The top portion of the elevator is still tilting inward, so you can improve it some more.

Best regards,
