Couldn't quite get the angle right on this during shooting or after, so I know it looks a little distorted.

The detailing on the door is brilliant, I see what you mean about the distortion, but I am a novice with that kind of thing so can't give any useful advice!! Interesting subject though!!

You could use a perspective crop to help straighten out the image.

Nice interesting details, I think some fill lighting on the top of the gate would have helped to bring the details out there as well. I find that if I can't get the angle to look right I sometimes try to go the extreme then, like laying on the ground looking up at the subject (or down). With the 18-200 you have you can add lots of interesting lines (and shadows) this way because of the large range.
I like the processing, the tones look good.

Nice detail, I would have like to see more of the top of the door. I have the same problem about angles. If you figure it out let me know!

cool textures and details, as you said the angle seems a bit off but still a nice pic.

Nice patterns, don't know if completly straight would look better. Just missing the typical B&W contrast, this looks a little gray.

So interesting. Great detail on the gate!
As for the angle...watch the camera "level" when you shoot. You might need to the camera forward a touch or back a touch to help with the lines. Does this make sense? If you had stepped one step to your left, this would also have helped. Shots w/these types of lines are tricky! Might also try to crop just a touch more off of the bottom. Great shot!!

Love those patterns, and the way you croped them.
