Chuck, Jeff and the Oly gang:

Thanks for the comments.  I this perspective stuff is as much art as 
science in real life. :-)

I'm really most interested in the scale of the couple vs. the building, 
and the light. But I'd like the "architectural correctness" of the 
picture to be acceptable.  So I reworked the leveling and keystoning 
correction again, and I *think* I like it better this way. But I've been 
staring at it so long that I wouldn't know a straight line if it bit me 
where I sit.  :-)

So, which one do you like better?
