A bandstand In Liverpool's Otterspool Promenade on the waterfront(river mersey In the background), probably built In the early 80's around the time when the Garden Festival was on. Sadly most of Garden Festival site was left to ruin and some things destroyed.

Alot of the site If being fixed up now though and some of the old Garden Festival things are now on display like sitting red bull In the link below.

Nice, the sky looks a little dark and maybe needs a couple or something in the bandstand but i like it

I'm sure I leveled It.

The pic should be sharper though like It was In photoshop.

Nope ... you need to apply the de-wonky filter to that shot.

If I had made the bandstand straight, then the rest of the pic would of been wonky. It Is level.

Well in that case the River Mersey seems to be defying the laws of physics and perhaps you should submit your photo to the New Scientist magazine! ;)

Level the river and the wonkyness will be resolved.

Could be the angle.

If the mersey straightens then the purple bricked stairs will surely unlevel?

I wouldn't worry about either of them. If the bandstand looks right, the rest of the photo should. It would be impossible for everything to be level. Best idea would be to play around and see what you think works best.

Not really playing with It no more.

I uploaded It to Flickr to see what people thought of It mostly.

At the moment I'm taking more time with pics and taking less shots so I don't overload myself and just working on lightroom and photoshop skills.

Good thinking... a handful of carefully processed photos from a day/shoot is better than 200+ 'ok' ones. A shame our friend Gerard couldn't grasp that...

Lol, I like Gerard but he was paranoid over nothing.

Looks like he only went to Skyscraper city because they'd give him nothing put good photo comments.
