You improved the Temple Bar with the PS lens correction. But don't forget that even though PS can correct a lot of things it"s not a view camera. The only way you can improve this kind of shot is to hold the camera level. Of course then you cut off the top of the building. You can't win. The staircase is a different story. The symmetry you're looking for was in the shooting. You may have been in the center of the stairs but you still favored the left side. Count the openings on the walkway on either side of the stairs. There are two more openings on the left. And there are more doors on the left. I think you could only get it perfect if you composed the shot on a tripod. Then you could count holes and doors. Not likely to happen hand held. This is a very critical evaluation of two very fine shots. But I think that's what you were looking for.
