This is an edited version of the previous image. I made some

perspective adjustments according to a suggestion left on the

original. I'd like to know which you prefer.

I think being able to compare the two images is an absolute revelation into human perception and the way our eyes kind of auto correct for distortion to  some degree.  Whilst the perfect verticals of the original posting looked slightly distorted the adjusted slightly leaning in verticals of this image now look perfect!  The photograph itself is a great celebration of design and colour, sharp and well exposed. The people to the right do draw attention away from the building to some degree, but then sometimes its just unavoidable, and of course it couldbe argued that they bring a sense of scale to the image too.

Compliments!

Teo, I'd like to thank you again for bringing my attention to this. A while back I read someones comment on how perspective adjustments could really improve the image up for critique. The image had just the opposite problem, all the verticals were leaning inward.  Seeing the difference opened my eyes how straightening them could really improve an image. I'm kind of taken a back that I had such blind spot for what is essentially to other side of the same coin.

Alf, thanks for your kind words. I hope to return before the end of the year with my 11mm wide angle lens so I don't have to stitch the image.. When I took this image all I had with me was my zoom that can only go 24mm, which for most situations is plenty wide. But you simply don't have the room to move back much further here. If I can manage a trip to the states before then, I want to try and pick up a really dark ND filter. I want to try making crowds disappear by using said filter to get a really long exposure, long enough that the people in movement simply don't show up on the image.

Hi, Siegfried!

The panorama stitching is a delicate technique that can produce spectacular results .This one is a good example , I'm convinced that a big size of this image is more impressive. I am not so good in this technique .

Here it is a link on this technique

The perspective correcting is a good tool in architecture photography ,mainly in indoor shootings , but there is a condition ,IMHO : the image must not look unnatural .Wich is not allways easy to achieve.  

You managed to bring the image in a perfect look with the slight perspective adjustments you've done. I don't bother about the people in the right low corner .In fact they show the dimensions of the building.

best regards, Teo

Very elegant shot of this amazing cathedral. Nice architecture style, fine colours and very nice composition. In our opinion it would be better to keep a little bit more space above the top cross but it is only small suggestion. The shot is still very good!
