Andrew, A very interesting photo and I do enjoy black and white ....( a lot)..Is this black and white because of the exposure being off or was it by design? The reason I ask this is it seems to have some blown highlites in the sunny areas.. As far as the bend...You might want to try and go into PS into filters ...distort...lens.. I think in there you will find what you are looking for.. A graph that you can take the bend out. But be prepared to do that you will lose some of the photo....Thanks for posting...RON

Thank you for the critique. It was black and white by design. (See the color pano in my other listings.) The blown highlights are something I can't get right since I am sure the negative was well exposed. (It was a sunny day so subject was very contrasty to start with.) I don't know if it is the scanner I am using or the way I massage it in Photoshop. I am still learning the process of converting film to digital! Best wishes
Andrew

Andrew, the B&W gives the photo an "old world" feel which matches the subject matter very well. Color would completely change the mood, but I'm curious how it turned out. The stitching appears to have come out well.
I believe you're asking about correcting some of the curved lines caused by the stitching. Anytime I need to correct something like this I use the transform tools. Just select what you want to move around (usually the whole photo), select Edit > Transform. You'll have some options, but for this case I think you'll want to try the warp function. Just click and drag parts of the photo around. Others may have other options.
Nice submission. -Sjon
