Hi Seb,

Nice shot -- maybe a little busy, but then I tend to like "busy" shots. I like to look beyond the "subject" and find other clues to help complete a story the image may be trying to tell. Ergo, I like big DOF and stuff.

However, the thing that I find distracting is that the parallel lines converge near the top edge do to lens distortion. So, I have a general question about this...

(If not intended by the composition) Is lens distortion something that should be avoided? For example in Seb's image, (possibly) a different focal length could be used (with a different camera position). Or, the distortion could be corrected in PP.

I hope people don't mind if I ask such a basic question. And Seb, I hope you don't mind that I chose your image when asking this question.

Many thanks in advance, I'm just wanting to learn....
Tim
