1st one IMHO needs fixing... the minster is falling down.
2nd one is good
3rd one is crying out for more depth or a B/W conversion
4,5.... hmmm.

Does look that way huh?

The horizontals - are.

The verticals on centreline - are.

It's the ground the cathedral is built on that isn't level - check out the extra steps needed at the left side to make up the difference :)

Unless of course you mean the vertical perspective - I like it :)

Thanks for the comments - very much appreciated.

I love York, it's my favourite city in UK, and the architecture is nothing short of fabulous.

I personally believe that the Minster is the most beautiful building in the UK, with Durham coming a close second.

I think the perspective is fine, and I certainly wouldn't consider converting the street scene to B and W. You have rendered the colour beautifully.

Like them alot especially the first two.Have been meaning to go again for years.

I find the perspective distortion excessive in the first two. First one looks like it is about to fall over backwards away from the camera. Second one looks like it is definitely about to collapse inwards!

Are those very old distorted houses in the 3rd one or is the bulge in the buildings lens distortion too?

On the plus side they are sharp, well exposed and composed :)

Such is the nature or art I'm afraid :D

No - they are very old distorted houses.

Thanks - much appreciated comments - all of them.

I really like No3, relaxing scene and great colours, has it had much photoshop work done on it?
