    This is the Victoria Tower in Westminster, viewed from Little Deans Yard (Westminster School Yard).
    All comments very welcome

    Re: Victoria Tower - Westminster

    Nice image, Gavin, great lighting glancing from the side accentuates all the architectural features, the clouds provide nice interest in the sky and a lovely curved path to lead you in. If I was looking for areas of possible improvement, because the two white windows on the right hand side line up and are so close to the edge, the fact they don't line to the edge does bother me (but I'm a bit funny like that), so a bit of vertical straightening wouldn't go amiss. But as I said, that is probably just me.

      Thanks Alex, not sure how to go about that without making the tower lean over?

        Firstly if you have lightroom go to Lens Correction and tick "enable Profile Correction" That might straighten the image up at the edges.

        If you don't use LR then In DPP there is also a section (under the lens image box in the edit image page) for lens registration.

          Thank you for your comments; I use (try to) Photoshop Elements 12 and after a lot of messing about to no avail, I eventually finished up with this:

          But in trying to straighten things up I seem to have slightly lost the left and right edges.
          Any & all other comments or suggestions gratefully received.

            It can be a bit tricky...using one correction tool can upset the effect of another...I think it needs a 'verticals slider' week to push the bottom half back and the top half forward....and then a slight rotation...Ill have a go if you don't mind.

                    I certainly don't mind and the result is much better.
                    I will keep on keeping on and maybe get the hang of it eventually.

                      I'm not sure what tools you have on Elements...this was in the Geometry section of Lightroom CC - Vertical adjustment.

                        Based on that, I think I might try a trial of Photoshop CC + Lightroom CC.

                          A good viewpoint and I'm glad it has benefitted from a slight vertical nudge

                          Cheers,
