Did you intentionally exaggerate the perspective distortion on the church? It is really leaning backwards.

There is a small amount of keystoning because of the angle of view and use of the 90mm lens; however, that results in only a slight exaggeration of the true shape of the front of the building. It is actually more narrow at the top than at the bottom.

This definitely has that "I'm about ready to fall over look" to it. The trees re-enforce that feeling.

That's funny, I didn't even think about the angle of view/camera back tilted as being wrong...I just accepted it as a compositional choice. It's fun to break rules! I like the strength of this one.

Thanks for the reply, Ria. I was really wondering if it was intentional or an accident de parcours. The Greek knew how not to build structures that optically didn't lean backwards ;-)
