Personally I think you ought to sell your M2 and  15mm lens and get out of
photography.

I don;t like competition, especially competent competition.

Really nice work.... you seem to understand the lens and the perspective
issues it forces you to deal with.  Buy a small carpenter's level ( round,
about 1- 1 1/2 inches in diameter)  and use it on top of the tripod mounted
camera to keep the ground perpendicular to the axis of the lens.... You have
a lot of keystoning going on ( especially in the vertical image, the fifth
one down)......  It makes the scene confusing to see the verticals all be
out of whack with the eye's reality.....  Or get the Voigtlander level if
you are going to hand hold the camera.
