I like it, nice warm tones, but I would suggest it needs straightened - it's tilted to the left a little.

Interesting optical illusion.

Looking at the image without pixel peeping it looks like it's slightly tilting clockwise, but pixel peeping and comparing to a horizontal line it does indeed tilt by about 1 pixel anti-clockwise.

I would say it needs an adjustment on more than one axis before deciding upon the final rotation.

This is what I'd do to do it before thinking about correcting any perspective

Thanks Peng, Smeggy. It is out by 0.51 on horizontal axis. I took it by kneeling down and lowering the camera to hip level so its a possibility that it is out on another axis. If the weather is ok, I'll redo

Straightened and bumped the exposure

Straightened with no other tweaks. Looking at it now, its almost better for it. I cropped it last night following rule of thirds law

Much better composition. The longer lead up to the gates works!
