Bonjour Bille mon ami,
Nice use of the 24 for this kind of scene! :-) Certainly with the people 
giving adding to the perspective.

However, you made one a mistake with a wide angle lens that makes the 
difference between an excellent photograph and one that just misses the 
mark. It's how one holds the camera correctly! :-( And you didn't, you are 
close but look at the left side columns and they're all leaning into the 
centre.

You unfortunately miss an "A+ rating" because you tilted the camera on the 
left when you had perfectly good vertical lines to square the camera with 
the columns while looking through the viewfinder and squaring the camera .

With a shot like this I line-up the internal viewfinder with the column on 
the left making sure they're straight, then move my eye..... not camera.... 
to the right side, if necessary a slight movement of camera on the right 
side lining up the inner edge of the viewfinder with some vertical part in 
the scene.

A quick look back to the left to assure you haven't thrown it into a tilt, 
do this very quickly and the end result is..... the columns are straight and 
the perspective of the scene is corrected. And then you have an "A class " 
photo.

By the way this action takes les than seconds for correction, but it truly 
makes a major difference.
