Photographers WARNING!
Really? Even if I provide correct information (OP: "Yes, shot at 28mm.") you insist on a kind of photographic papacy for yourself? I am sorry to say you provide quite a bit of disinformation (mostly because a narrow part of a larger picture) that may well harm the efforts of other photographers. (I've also read photo magazines that claim the opposite, as though overlap is the only element in perspective.)

Any lens other than 50-55mm give distortion of perspective. Rather than get into this again, if anyone is curious, here's a fairly accurate source that at the least should give you links to further knowledge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion_(photography)

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

Looks good. Actually, either way looks good--they just have a slightly different, perhaps unspecific "feel" ir "vibe." This one is more Classical, being aligned with near-perfect horizontals and verticals.

Well said.

I love your photo but I must ensure that you and others are aware of what I believe is a serious deficiency with ON1. Even though I have owned 2017, 2018, 2019 and now 2020, only recently did I undertake a serious task. I scanned a small, old B&W, photo booth photo that had several tears including one that went through an eye.
The repair went well until I got to the eye and that needed examination and repair at pixel level. Unfortunately ON1 only gives a maximum view of 400%, and is totally inadequate for the type of work that I was undertaking.

I do not like to put any programme down but this limitation very much annoyed me. Anyhow, well done with your photo and its processing with ON1, it can do many things very well.

I really like this photo. I am really curious about the story behind the rails being where they are. They are meticulously taken care of as far as landscaping goes. I don't see one stone out of place. Do you know why the Distillery decided to leave the track where it is. Whatever the reason I think it was a great idea.

They are very intent on not tearing down or tearing up anything of the original grounds. Unless it becomes a danger or impairs production, it stays. Restoring rather than destructing.
