[Leica] horizontal or not? Maybe it is now.

Philippe,
I couldn't resist - why do you post shots like this so early in the 
morning? ;-)
Anyway, I  looked at it from all angles, agreed, disagreed, put a fine 
grid over it, played around with it and took 10 minutes to tweak a 
couple of  things..
I think everything is horizontal or vertical now, but,unfortunately, I 
lost a bit of the lower part by correcting the perspective.
I also applied a tiny touch of manual distortion correction.(BTW what 
lens was it?, I may have a lens profile here somewhere to get an 
accurate correction)

http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/pano   Your shot
http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/pano_edited_1  whether 
it's straight I'll leave to your judgment

I also removed a slight colour cast (but that's  maybe on my laptop 
TFT-screen) I couldn't be bothered firing up the big machine in the 
office, so if the colours are wrong blame Fujitsu-Siemens and Adobe-Gamma.
cheers
Douglas
