Thanks, Rick. When shooting architecture I usually try to minimize distortion, but there are physical limits on where I can position myself relative to the building, and then I have to make a compromise in post (in this case framing vs distortion). Other times I play around with lines and perspective and don't worry about distortion. The general "consensus" (if there is ever such a thing among photographers) is that distortion in architectural photos is an error unless I make it bloody obvious that it was intentional. But I'm glad to hear a different opinion:)
The sky came out black as a result of the exposure, I darkened the windows in post. Glad you liked it.
