Is the house leaning, or is it lens distortion?

Re: Vertical shot, landscape... Not a house btw

From looking at near buildings, i can say it's lens distortion.
The image is dramatic and thats a matter of choice and taste.
If you were trying to get a dramatic image, you've succeeded.

The grass is taking the most interest of the image, and looks like it's the center of attention and not the building itself.
Other than that it's great image.

Fantastic image, but if the focus is supposed to be the building you might have to lift the view abit.

Looks nice, but I think be good to saw highest resolution render.

I think that the lens distortion negatively affects an otherwise beautifully composed scene.

The lighting of the entire scene is nicely balanced and matched with the background photo.

How did you acheive the grass field in the front of the image? I assume post-processing in PS...but correct me if I am wrong.

I agree about the composition, but I think there is too much grass in the foreground.

I modeled everything! JUST KIDDING haha...

Thanks everyone i appreciate your comments! The background/foreground photo is courtesy of my good cousin Cedric Cruz (http://stretchhammer.multiply.com).

I just photomatched my model with the photo. I used the same photo for GI and BACKGROUND maps, i think that's how i've managed to get my model blend with the scene, somehow... haha. I later on attached the background in PS for better alignment. Really simple isn't it?

He used ultra wide angle lens, hence the distortion, which i like (thanks for appreciating 40th).

I agree, too much grass, but i decided to stick with it to keep the idea that my cousin was probably thinking when he took the shot, dramatic, in his own words "so the eyes would wander... at the foreground first, then at the background, before you see them both as a whole." Plus i intended to keep his signature on the lower right of the image.
