Grateful for your honest views on this. I'm thinking of selling prints to this picture so I want it to be absolutely perfect. The first version is without distortion correction - the second with. My girlfriend feels that the second looks unnatural and that the first looks better but I'm not sure. Although I do keep wondering whether I've over-corrected the distortion.
I also know that the obelisk is distractingly bright, but I'm not sure what I can do about that. I've already darkened the brightest spots slightly as they were bright white with no detail visible. I'm concerned that if I darken it further the lighting won't look natural any more.
No other PP has been done on either shot.
