Well, when I took the photo, I leaned over the edge of the wall around the roof, but braced my arms on the ledge and used the camera's built-in levels to make the shot as square as possible. I auto-bracketed three shots for HDR because I knew the street was much darker than the tops of the buildings. In LR, I used autosync to make the same manual lens correction adjustments to all three images. I also cropped out a good bit of the sky, leaving an 8/10 aspect ratio. I combined the images in Photomatix, then added some contrast in Photoshop with a process I developed for the rather flat, soft-feeling images that Photomatix tends to produce.
You can still see some slanted lines in the photo, but I was going a bit crazy trying to get everything square, so I said, "Good enough."
