The bottom is slightly cropped because it's such a popular tourist attraction, you'll never have it completely unobscured by other people. None the less, this is the best picture I could take. Now some might say - "Oh why is that thing in front in the way-it spoils the image?" - Well to them I say it was deliberate as it is aligned with the vertical, it accentuates the lean, because it's not as profoundly visible as it used to be (they apparently did some stabilizing work to make it safer), but is still significant. Also the lean could easily be accounted for a photo that's not been aligned with the horizontal so I wanted to overcome that!

I like the "loving" cup that you included in this shot and for all the reasons you gave..although we all know that it leans, it's amazing for me to see just how far!! Great job with this presentation.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon

This is sooo cool. I really had no idea it was leaning so much. Thank you for sharing this with everyone!

I agree with the posters above me... I had no idea this puppy was so far over. Scary. I like the way you added the blue to fill in the sides....making it just enough different so we know the Tower isn't standing all alone and yet close enough to the sky background so the viewer's attention can remain on the tower itself. Good catch!
