    Thanks for the entries people, great job! My apologies for not choosing something that could have been more widely enjoyed by everyone. I went back and forth on this one. I enjoyed all of them but going to give it to @SMKYTXN , a lot going on in there.

    Thanks @TBuzz ! I have a good idea for the next challenge. One that pulls from one of the aspects of my photo. I'll send @medic2230 a PM.

    What kind of post production do you use? The distortion should easily be fixed by most post-production software.

    I'm working with the Adobe CC suite, and that's probably my third attempt at post processing. I'm working through youtube videos and whatnot to try and figure this stuff out. I'll take any constructive criticism you've got. :D

    I used PS for the first edit and LR for the second.

    I had the same issue with a vertical panorama I took on here almost 2 years ago. After the fact when it was critiqued, and I agreed the buildings were tilted in too much, did some research and found it was called keystoning. At the time all I had was LR and Gimp. I was able to correct it in Gimp. Damn I've learned a lot on here now if only I could remember it all...

    2 weeks ago went to CC because picked up a new laptop and wasn't going to pay for a version of LR when a new one should be out soon. Haven't had much time to play with PS but helped mac heads in marketing departments with it more than 20 years ago when it was the standard, but only to get it to run not work in it.

    Here is a link to fix perspective keystoning in PS. It is very powerful and will do a lot. But GIMP was a lot easier to do it in LOL.
