There appears to be a slight tilt, and the scan seems a little soft. But I very much like seeing the memorial with its surrounding environment. It conveys the sense of loss very well.

Thanks for your comments. I work within a block of the memorial and I have to see it every day. It's difficult to not watch the moods of the place change especially since I was pretty familiar with the place before the bombing.

It may be tilted a bit. it was a handheld shot late in the day from the roof of this parking structure. I think more likely it is a bit of perspective distortion since this is shot downward with a wide angle lens, i think the zoom was dialed down to about 21mm at this point. I was trying to line up the edge of the viewfinder with the western face of the Journal Record building. the print shows this line to be almost perfect, but getting one straight line to line up with the edge of a frame usually means it won't line up on the other side because there is not a good way to assure parallelism without perspective controls or swings on the lens. it does look a little soft because of the low res scan. if i add sharpening it seems to pixelate rather badly at the resolution we can post here.
