Church in BW and Color Post 2

[MonkeyWrench]

Here is my second attempt. This was taken in full sun and I included as much as I could on the sides and was a little more generous with the bottom. I am still working on my BW post processing but I think this one came out better than the first one. Several things I myself have issues with is that it is not a standard crop and the distorted angles caused by the wide-angle lens. I tried my best to fix the distortion but my post processing skills are even more lacking than my picture taking ones. I realize the crop was a bit tight on the first one, but I still like the first color one the best. All comments and suggestions are welcomed. Please feel free to edit and post your suggestions.

Not sure if I grabbed the wrong pics or what but I just got a chance to look at these online and not sure what happend to the quality. Did this in a hurry at work....Will take another look when I have more time.

looks like it's tilted pretty hard to the left.
the conversion looks good but i think the image suffers from bad lighting. the noon sun is never very flattering. try coming back at 6-7am or 7-8pm. early morning or late afternoon usually provides the best light.

Not sure about the tilt. The verticals on the left seem straight enough, although I can't really tell because of the shadows--I think it was the angle from which you took it. That can be corrected with a little distorting and skewing, I think. I'm in total agreement with ZL on the lighting though. The noon sun is brutal. This is a great subject though. Keep at it.

maybe it isn't tilted. my eye might be thrown off by the sidewalk on the bottom on the image

The whole thing seems to be leaning backwards. Probably perspective lean. Getting to higher ground would help.
