St Marys Church, Goudhurst Kent

[THELONGMAN]

I just had to stop and photograph this beautiful 13th century church in the village of Goudhurst, Kent

I like very much, but I think it would benefit from a little light painted around in the foreground and a slight tweek clockwise to make the tower vertical.

I'm not sure. There are things leaning a little every which way (the far side of the church is leaning in the opposite direction to what lens distortion would give, a tombstone at the left edge isn't leaning at all, the house on the far right isn't leaning half as much as the tower, which is physically impossible from a merely optical POV, one of the masts is leaning, the other isn't ... and so it goes on.) I rather think the tower really is leaning, but even if it was corrected, it should be done via Photoshop Transform, not by Rotate, which would throw other things out. I'd be inclined - no pun intended! - to leave well alone.

Thanks a lot chaps, all points noted, but I will say that a Church 900 years old, tomb stones from the same age and housed 400 years old possibly would be a little out of cue, either that or my very costly Canon lens has a big problem--

Thanks again fellas, I appreciate your feedback,
