The very linear shapes still have distortions, of course. The real value of the feedback for me is to become more careful when framing such subjects in the future. As a dentist (who changed careers), I'm surprised I missed the error in the first place. Perhaps another reason for the error is that by moving from medium format (always on a tripod) to the usually handheld Leica, I've become less careful of the horizon's position.
