Really nice colours. The bottom wedges (for want of a better term), though, trouble me because it makes it look like perspective distortion even though I know it isn't. Does add interest, though, even if it sort of makes me mentally squirm.
That's exactly what I thought. And I agree with Eric: while it must have been disappointing to miss the moon (as, surprise surprise, we did in Manchester), you made the most of it, Slobodan.

After all, perfectly parallel sides (seen from low positions) look as "wrong" as do space-travel, vanishing upper floors derived from super-wides.
This is mental stuff for winter, not for the heat of the day down in... Chuck, baby, back to rest.

...Cell-phone pic?
I thought personal insults are not allowed around here?
Jeremy!?
EDIT: That was a joke. The camera was a 50 Mpx Canon 5Ds at ISO 100, on tripod, leveled. No noise. What you probably see are faint dark clouds in the distant background.

I don't mind the bottom. It provides a bit of framing and balance with the right side of the image.
Then leveling it out in PS would possibly give the image a less awkward look?

Yeah, kindergarten humor, we know you by now... ;-)
I still see lots of artifacts, around the balustrades but, more telling, also around your name. Perhaps the site does additional compression of images? Or perhaps my android thingy uses datasaving even though it is turned off. I have no idea. Will take a look on the apple later.

Rob and you are correct.
It was my bad. I asked Lightroom to correct verticals, and did not notice it changed horizontals (previously level) too. I now use Guided adjustments and it looks much better. I also kinda start liking the full, un-cropped, version.

There is something to it. Strangely, although the file clearly says 800 px, when enlarged, it becomes 880 px, hence the blurring or artifacts.

This version is more "planted" than the first, and I think it looks the stronger for it.

Now, this is a cell-phone pic, digital zoom. Posting it here to demonstrate how different lighting conditions can change an object:
