I don't seem to be able to get the hang of perspective adjustment using 
PTLens so I applied a perspective correction in PW Pro to fix the 
leaning buildings and then used PTLens to fix the distortion of the 
7-14.  The distortion correction is visible but not dramatic.  I would 
describe it like pressing down in the middle of an inverted paper plate 
to flatten it out and stretch it radially.  The result looks better but 
that l-o-o-o-o-on-n-n-g walkway is still a l-o-o-o-o-on-n-n-g walkway.
See it at:

You can click on these three links in sequence and then use your forward 
and back buttons to see the changes.  Someone else may be able to do 
better on the perspective correction but the distortion correction is 
automatic if selected.
