This is my first attempt at a city skyline. Correcting the perspective was a pain, the buildings on the ends slanted in a lot. Any C&C on the photo and my adjustments to the perspective are greatly appreciated. Any tips on fixing the perspective are also greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.

not bad, the water feature adds a bit, but the bridge from this angle blocks too much of the buildings IMO.

This looks like it was taken near the skate park. Near where you shot, a little to the North, is the Sawyer street over pass that takes you from Sawyer street to Memorial drive. Walk up the over pass, there's a little bit of a walkway, and set up in the curve near the peak of the overpass. Always helps to have a buddy with you to watch for traffic. This spot elevates you enough so that the convergence is less of an issue.

This was taken from that spot



In the fall and winter there is less foliage and you can get the foot path and a foot bridge in the lower part of the frame.
