- Support, but I sense a slight tilt to the left. Is it fixable? Brandmeistertalk 13:21, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
- There might be an ever so slight tilt to the left. However, if you're judging it from the fact that the window arches are not both meeting at the exact corner of the frame, that would give you an exaggerated sense of tilt, as any deviations from horizontal are accentuated there due to the extremely wide point of view. It could also be because the building is not absolutely symmetrical, or that I haven't taken the photo from the precise centre of the hall. I tried to rotate the image so that identical objects on either side of room were horizontal and parallel, but that ended up making the windows tilt even more noticeably. If there is indeed a need for some sort of correction, it's likely a complex and minute perspective correction and not a simple tilt. To be honest, I don't think it's worth the trouble.

- Ah, ok. The tilt may be noticed by comparing the bar betwen the portraits and the front window with a straight line, in particular. I gave the image a 0,49 deg clockwise rotation in PS (without upload), but, as usually, several pixels would go in that case. Brandmeistertalk 20:10, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
