Lens Correction

[jgs001]

I was up in London last weekend, couldn't take the 450d with me but had my little Fuji... well I took a few shots... and I've been trying to use lens correction on them... but they don't look right to me...

The only thing I can think is that the correction has distorted the results too far so doesn't look correct now. Which looks better ? Do they need correction ? Am I trying to correct an effect of perspective rather than lens distortion ? Any advice or suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks for looking.

I think it just looks a bit weird to the eye, as you know that you see converging verticals when looking at it... here's the first one with zero converging verticals...

The second one just looks plain odd when 'corrected...'

When you correct a building it’s not just the upright but you have to increase the height as well.
I have corrected them both what do you think?

I was too lazy to increase the height... done enough PP for one day.

Thank you both. The increase in height was the bit I was missing. I shall have another play later.
