Stoic with Flare
I was importing a bunch of photos into Lightroom last night and ran across this one. After a couple minor corrections I’m loving it now.

Correct it for parallax and print it again. I’d love to see a side-by-side comparison.
There’s a lot of perspective correction already in this photo due to the wide angle lens being pointed upwards. I wanted to leave a little of the skew in because I like the effect, and if you overcorrect it makes the photo look flat. If I get a chance I’ll post the original.
