There is a perspective control in PS, but what about extreme conditions.

As far as the perspective goes, I wouldn't change a thing, I think you've nailed the composition.
Don't know if I'm much on the processing but that's just personal taste.

That's a beautiful shot, Blad. Even us professional architectural photographers, with view cameras and all, still have to shoot a lot of skyscraper shots that way. Nothing you can do to control THAT perspective, and even if you COULD straighten it up it would look totally artificial.

Wells Fargo Tower? I owe them a lot of money. My rental home and car are financed through them.

Thanks, Processing, or the ease of it, in my opinion is a major advantage in DP. The limitations of my camera often determines how much I do. In this shot I could have done less.

thank you, As I mentioned utilizing prespective in PS. I tryed it and you put it well"totally artificial". Distance and elevation makes all the differance in this kind of subject matter. It must be models I'm seeing when I look at those perfect proportioned Photo,s.

It's mostly a question of being able to find an uncluttered line of sight to back up along, actually. You basically have to be a full block away from a skyscraper to have a prayer of shooting it square, further if it's a really big one. Elevation, of course, also helps.

So when you CAN'T do that, the solution is to go for MORE exaggeration, like you have here. The really lame shots are the ones where the perspective is off, but not by all that much, and it just looks accidental.
