Kip,
Your on the way to a neat photograph! However!!!!!

You tilted crooked somehow, only on the left side of the frame creating a
leaning of the columns. If one is going to shoot in this type of location it
must be straight up equally and not tilting one side as appears here. As
though you lined up the right side straight but got the left side crooked.

If I'm shooting in this type of environment and require a tilt up, I line up
the bottom of the frame absolutely straight with the floor as I tilt, that
means the tilt is straight up and the tilt will be equal on both sides and
not holding the camera crooked or down on one side. Yep there'll be
distortion but in this case if it's equal, it adds to the effect of the
room.

There's great potential here and you didn't quite get it right. I'd suggest
if you live near by I'd go back and re-shoot it as it's too good a location
not to have right on the mark.  And if possible I'd hope there was a passer
by down the walk way to add a touch of perspective impact.

Your welcome. ;-)
ted
