 * Support For some reason I thought the right-hand tower was fanning out, but I checked with a straight edge (browser window) and it's correct. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:07, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Support Lots of detail. Charming design. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:03, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment There seems to be wide angle distortion that could be corrected - the towers appear oval, and, from this perspective, as though facing away from each other. I believe they are in fact round. This issue is separate from what Crisco said about the verticals. In fact, if you address only the verticals without a more comprehensive lens correction, you risk exacerbating other distortions, as may have happened here. I did a quick check, and adding a bit of pincushion correction does improve the situation at the top of the image. Cf. this image which shows slight distortion in the opposite direction.
