Thank you very much for the detailed description of straightening, James. Though I wouldn't call myself a friend of coorecting photos afterwards, I think that your description will be very useful in my future photographic projects, since I like wide angle so much, and since wide angle brings such curvatures.
My approach seems to be rather straight but it is always a good thing to know about the possible ways for correcting pictures, even if one doesn't make so much usage of it.
Have a nice day too and thanks again,
Nick

Thank you so much, Leora, for your lovely comment!
Now that you say it, indeed, it feels tropical, though captured in a rather un-tropical land ;-)
But that river is so crystal clear, and at some times of the day so wonderfully colored that one could really name it tropical.
Many thanks again,
Nick

nick.... to reply to your question, as i mentioned in my previous comment, sometimes when you straighten out one part of the photo, you'll make another part of the photo crooked. sometimes you can't fix it. the photo looks the way it does for different reasons. maybe the way you held the camera, maybe the lens..... at any rate, many people dont worry about the tilted horizon. sometimes it can improve the photo, sometimes not.
the only way you could straighten one part of the photo without affecting another part (as far as i know) would be to cut the crooked part out, place it on another layer, straighten it, then add it back to the original photo, and flatten the layers together. but i think thats too much trouble. in this case, i dont think it would change your photo much, the curvature is pretty small. but i think you could still sharpen it a little.
by the way, this happens to me all the time. i often have to straighten my photos. i often pay too much attention to small details that others wouldnt worry about, but that's my way of thinking.
have a nice day ~ james

No, Kambiz, why do you think I did? This is good old Lucerne, the city I'm living in..
Many thanks for the comment and the advice, Kambiz!

James, thank you very much for your nice comment! Without wanting to say, that your considerations are not appreciated, why should strict geometry play such a great role in photography? If it is 0.4 degree tilt, then it is 0,4 degree tilt - I don't think that one should rotate until then "physically right" horizonm is established, but of course this is my very personal point of view.
But nonetheless, how do I straighten some detail on a photo wihtout affecting anything else? Is that possible in PS? What I have tried gives me very strange results - the buildings get straightened but the rest of the world in the proximity of the buildings looks even more distorted.
Thanks again for the nice comment and the advice,
Nick

Thank you vety much John, for your kindest comment. Straightening would mean corrections in PS, but I am quite puristic. That was what the wide angle view captured and so this is what I feel best for posting. But in the other hand, is there any way to straighten such things without affecting anything else? How could this be accomplished?
Thanks again and best wishes,
Nick

This looks luscious and almost tropical - the slight lean OK, I feel like I am on a boat coming in to shore.

==> so you managed to go there to see her parents.
Good for you.
Although there is much saturation in colors, don't mind.
need little bit straightening.

yes, seems to be some curvature here. however, when you straighten out one element of a photo, you potentially put another out of alignment. slight CCW rotation might be good here, about 0.4 of a degree i think. might do with a little sharpening as well. nice colours tho.
best wishes. james

Nick the colour and composition overall are very striking but I feel you could have straigtened the building in the background, because (for me) they are quite distracting in the current form.
