Brooklyn Bridge

I agree with Snapdragon, cropping the bottom does help make the slight tilt less noticeable. However, I would even crop it slightly more than she did, this would help to de-emphasize the tilt even more and helps to pull focus away from the flurry of cables and shadows and draw the viewer towards the interesting lamp post and bridge structure. Maybe somewhere just below the yellow markers on the bridge. Nice shot!

I am putting some shots up for critique that I took with that lens. One per day as per the rules on the forum. If you dont want to wait that long you can check some others on my flickr page I upload them there as I get them processed.

RexK_Cozumel,

If your edit program has a perspective and/or distort function, you can get a much more level view with what you have, small right side/bottom crop. The zigzag effect on this edit is a quirk of my program.

I am using photoshop CS3 and I know that there is a function to correct lens distortion but I have yet to really play around with it. I will have to give that a try when I have some more time.
