Great yarmouth minster and the old fishermen hospital

I do like the second. It seems one of those occasions where converging verticals work well.

Yes, number 2 for me as well. Very nice!

out of curiosity,.. what do you guys do not like about no1?

It's not that I don't like it - it's very nearly there I think. Were you trying for a kind of sandwich - sky and foreground with buildings between? The slight flaws I see are :

1. lack of perfect symmetry - i.e. the wideangle distortion on one side is not quite equal to the other side, and the central path is not quite central?
2. the flagpole does intrude on that ambition, where in a non-symmetrical shot it wouldn't 
3. the watermark intrudes horribly in this shot

In this particular shot I think I WOULD have corrected the verticals and I certainly would have either not used a watermark, or would have reduced and re-sited it. But it's not far off I'd say

1. I kind of saw that,.. but was not sure. thanks
2. should I clone it away?
3. agree,.. i did not use the right WM preset

Thank you

This is a very quick and 'dirty' edit (didn't even attempt to touch the watermark!) - I think the flagpole should stay, as it now provides the asymmetrical touch that makes the picture. Just a pity some of the buildings on either side have been lost, but with correcting verticals that's inevitable.

I saw online once that the new PS CC, had vertcal line correction with the click of a button,.. I lost the article,.. is that how you did it?

You need this tool then you click on something you know is horizontal or vertical and drag mouse to the other end of the object - hope it answers part of the question  

With the buildings above you need to use the Transform tool which you'll find in the Edit menu - there are all sorts of options and Distort is a fairly good choice for photographs of that nature.  Drag corners up, down, left, right and see what happens!  Just have a play and try the other tools too - they're really clever.  And Cntrl+Alt+Z for undoing a step or several times for several steps.

Yes, that's how I did it - increased Canvas Size then selected your image and used Transform to drag the corners out and up until the verticals were correct (using View>Grid made that a lot easier). Less than 5 minutes in all.
