Thanks Jeff.
As Ed would say : " It is however, slightly, left wing down".
Cheers, Mike.

I think I have one leg shorter than the other. I never take a photograph that is level. The first thing I do after the raw conversion is find a vertical or a horizontal (on that photo I would go for the vertical edge of the building), and in Photoshop I would zoom in, draw a line with the ruler tool, then Image> Image Rotation> Arbitrary, to square the image up before final cropping. I have to do that with practically every image I take.
Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".

That is excellent advice John. I have recently found that the " Grid Overlay " is a useful tool. I am not into Photoshop as yet, still trying to get to grips with Lightroom. I must get into the habit of checking horizontal and vertical at the start of the process, as you suggest.
Probability is that I would not have spotted the " left wing down " but for the fact that I was in contact with Ed. One glance at the shot and he saw it.
Oh for an expert eye.
Cheers, Mike.

Your first boss has a lot to answer for.
