I really like the photo and see no reason to correct anything. It looks perfectly natural to me. My only neutral comment is I would have gotten closer to your wife as she is the object of the photo.

Thanks for your comments Dennis - yes, could be closer, just trying to include the feel of the place.

I gave myself a project of using the 16-35mm wide angle lens for a week as I'd not made much use of it since purchase. Quite enjoyed it but obviously got some to learn yet. I can correct the general 'splay' of the fence posts as you see, but the two slanting posts in front of my wife I cannot. I guess its from the tilt of the camera. If I distort the thing enough to get them back upright it wrecks the shot. Does anyone have experience of this problem and ways to overcome? I'm thinking it must be a common fault for wide angle beginners.

Lovely picture. For some reason I prefer the leaning posts in your first picture. Just seem to contribute to the "gloomy day." Anyway, creative work on your part. Great composition!

Whilst I like rustic RB, the engineer in me knows they should be upright. You’ve made a good start on it for sure - and it’s better with the posts positioned as you have them, but a lot more work building my wife’s leg and the surrounds than I had in my version. You win because the step up to the style remains pretty much where it should be.

Thanks hiker. Most viewers don’t seem too bothered by the leaning posts, the lady in the picture included!

You might try to contact someone who has access to DxO and knows how to use the lens correction options in that software. I have seen many images corrected with DxO.

Thanks for that Walter, you’re the first to suggest a possible solution. I’ll see what I can find out about DxO.
