doesnt work for me. the girl seem so be walking down a slope because you camera wasnt straght. and there is no focus... my eyes are roving all over the place.

the bottom part of the photo seems chopped off, and the slanting buildings a bit disconcerting. mebbe u can try holding the camera vertical instead of tilting upwards towards the sky. then u will capture more foreground interest and straight buildings. personally, i feel that a dark and foreboding sky filled with storm clouds will give the photo more 'mood' and linkage with your caption. the bits of blue sky peeking thru the clouds seem to suggest the opposite, that the storm is ended and the sun will soon appear. thanks for sharing!

thanks for the comments. Actually, the clouds were forming and changing very rapidly that afternoon. My objective was to show the before and after - that just moments ago, it was bright and sunny, and the dark clouds were coming in...

the wide-angle converter seems to project the horizon into a curved angle. Does it mean that if i move the horizon nearer to the center of the frame, it will be straighter? Or would PS help in curing these kind of distortion?

Yes, PS can help to correct the distortion... there is a tool for adjusting the perspective in PS.
