What a wonderful spot. Either the perspective is just a hair off or the church is leaning to the left just a bit, I sure would like to think that it is the church.

I've been photographing a church in Gary, Indiana lately, it has 80 foot ceilings and beautiful stonework and stained glass. Its amazing places like that can ever become so completely forgotten about.
That's the trouble I have with shooting things straight on. If you look at the electric pole, that's definitely not pointing straight up either, and it's probably not even straight. I normally shoot with a pretty wide-angle lens, so I get all sorts of drunken effects when I try to be too orthogonal about things. And then there's the fact that I just plain shoot things crooked.... that's probably the case here.
There, I applied a 0.53-degree rotation with Picnik. And I thanked one of the Picnik developers here in Seattle for their wonderful tool. Now, if only I could sync these edits back to Lightroom...
