These were taken in partly cloudy skies but show little flare or distortion. sharpness is good but not fantastic.
shadow detail is excellent.

yeah, I like that one too, but I think I would like it even better with a wider lens lens like a 15mm!

I like the first one too. You could get a wider view by stitching some frames together, like I did here with a 50mm lens, I think this one was 8 frames stitched, with the 20mm, you could probably do it with 3 or 4.

Because you didn't have a true wide angle lens, you have converging vericals, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with photoshop perspective control

You get converging verticals with a wide angle lens too, if it is angled upwards, as was the case with my shot - the camera was placed low down, looking upwards slightly.

To correct the perspective so it is completely flat would make it look less natural, the verticals converge to a vanishing point, which is how the eye sees it too.

heres another taken in better light which yielded a faster shutter speed so its sharper. Contrast is execellent with this lens too.
