Distortion

I love the wide angle lenses but, I don't like the distortion they produce. I usually use PS to make the verticals vertical. The shadow on the lower left is intrusive; as is the power line just above it. A few clouds might be nice but, not a requirement. This image appeals to me. I really like the color. Nice subject.

To lean or not to lean

I agree with Mark, but would add that the perspective distortion from wide-angles can be very effective in certain cases, but for me this isn't one of them. The pronounced lean doesn't come across as adding to the picture, and thus seems like an unintended (and unfortunate) consequence. Thanks for posting this, and I look forward to seeing other 21mm shots. --Anker
