Nice!

This thread is one of the reasons why I got the SMC Pentax-DA 15mm F4, during a LBA crisis a few days ago

A few more shots...

How about the flare in this one? It seems to me that the colored spots resemble the RGB pattern on the sensor, kind-of.

At last, the sun shines down on the UK. And the 15mm shows me that people are lot smaller than cathedrals. And cathedrals are a lot, lot smaller than the sky.

A couple more...

Most people maybe, but Flickr and I have issues.

Not sure how to handle the angled buildings. I suppose that's natural for rectilinear lenses.

To avoid distorsion, you can:
-ensuire you camera aiming perfectly horizontally.
- use perspective correction in post traitement. Beware through that for heavy correction, it "eat" most of the original image.

It is what it is. Wide angles just do that. There are corrections in Lightroom that could be done, but it is a beautiful photo and doesn't need those corrections.

I would agree, but I would add that this should be part of what you want/expect. You use your UWA when you want such effect.

Too much awesomeness in this photo for me to notice the angles of the buildings

Your image is beautiful, Thomas! No need to change it at all. It's perfect exactly as it is.

Thanks for the kind words! Hopefully I can find another opportunity to use my 15 again soon.
