But barrel distortion has nothing to do with converging verticals. Any lens tilted up at a tall object will cause the effect. The only solution is to move back, use a wider lens or use a view camera.

Good question on the masking technique, I'm sure you're not the only one thinking it. It's actually not the easiest thing to do in Photoshop, but there are some tools to help the process. I'd tell you what they are, but it's a secret. Just kidding with you. I'll write up a post in the next couple of days that shows a few techniques for creating layer masks using the photo itself -- as I did with this one. Thanks for the question, I'm sure there are a few others out there thinking the same. Thanks Lee, I’m glad you enjoy these posts.

I've got a question which I'm aware is quite elementary Photoshop, but it's the type of thing I stumble over: in a picture such as this, what technique do you actually use to create your layer mask that separates the sky from the building and branches? I'm somewhat further along on the photography curve then on the photoshop curve (if you can separate the two!), so it's small details like this that sometimes keep me from getting where I want to go. Any tips are greatly appreciated! thanks, Lee Hi Brian,
