Bumped the contrast a smidge in PS... the distorted look came from the glass... I shot some from a slightly different angle that reduced the warp but I liked it that way.

There's a great tutorial here for correcting slightly misaligned pictures. I think it might have helped.

Go to measuring tool, and draw a line along the line that you wish completely vertical or horizontal.

That will tell you the angle.

Use rotate, arbitrary to rotate by this amount. In some programs, the amount from the measuring tool is entered automatically. I sometimes eyeball it or use different numbers for different effects.

Most photo editing software can do this, not just Photoshop.

Try it, you might like it! I use it a lot!

Damn power lines. Nice composition and colors.

i wish this was more sharp and the DOF used was not as shallow as this one. this would have kept everything in focus ;)

Nice effect, I like the light and your subject.

Very cool! Nice use of DOF to get the feel for this.

What?! You don't have lens quality glass in your doors? :-) Very nice shot. I like how the door handle is out of focus. Good use of DOF.

I am assuming that this is a reflection. Very good capture. Great color, and I like thehout of focus door handles.

the frame itself is very annoying, this would be a very nice photo without it, but then would not meet the challenge. bummer. well, best of luck with this version. cheers.
