Too often, when viewing architecture, the assumption holds that everything is aligned to laser lines. They are not. There are many twin towers that are not identical in lines.
As long as the overall effect comes close to what you "see", let it go.

I’m not terribly worried about it and could easily let it go as per what I saw. But, it does provide me an opportunity to learn more about PP in ON1, perhaps with the Transform tool, etc. I have lots to learn, so practicing with my camera and playing in PP helps. Seems the learning opportunities never end in this hobby (much like playing Bridge).

Here is another shot which also shows the red building and its neighboring white stone building. The image is straight per the white building near tower. There does appear to be a slight backward tilt to the red building. But if you look at the far corner of the red building (not the roofline), it does not look much different than the perpendicular tower (they appear pretty parallel).
I’m at a loss as to why it looks so pronounced in my original posted shot.
All suggestions welcome.

I suspect you shot with a lens at under 50mm. Wide angle lenses distort perspective. As so long lenses in a different manner.

Assuming that you did not crop, the explanation is simple. Look at the center of the image.
If it is below the elevation of the camera (your first image) the buildings will appear to tilt out at the top.
If it is above the elevation of the camera (your second image) the buildings will appear to tilt in at the top.
You can avoid this by aiming your camera at a point that it about the same elevation as the camera's.
Although you can fix this somewhat in post processing the results will not be satisfactory if the tilt is too much or if the lens is too wide angled.

You need to learn about perspective in photography.

Yes, shot at 28mm.

Little bit of a redo with the Transform tool. Not perfect, but very close to what I saw when shot.

Thank you all for the compliments and tips. Well worth posting as I have learned a bunch. Not an artistic type whatsoever, but trying to improve my composition skills and eye.

Beautiful picture and pp. Look at the red building. It appears to be leaning backwards a touch. Not picking please don't think so it just caught my eye. I love the photo.
Saw that too, and on the right, perspective adjustment, assume you have it, PSP does.
