Response to Perpetuum Mobile

This immediately reminded me of the recent movie, "Elizabeth" which included several scenes that started from as high a viewpoint as this. I think it was to emphasize "church" and "state" before people and the Queen, but I've mostly forgotten what the director said on this point during the "director's comments track" of the DVD (which, incidently, is an awesome function of DVDs and this was a wonderful movie/history lesson to utilize the function). I really like the details of the archways, particularly the shadows on the distant one. I don't think you should attempt to straighten anything out with photoshop or a shift lens, as then it wouldn't look as natural, and it would at least slightly defeat the purose of having obtained a highish viewpoint in the first place. Just curious, though, how are you getting "clockwise" from the nearest archway? I understand your comment, but don't understand where you're getting the motion there.
