Is.. is that building bent? Look at the very top row, the first 6 windows all extend a uniform distance below the top edge of the image, so the camera is straight-on to them (horizontally anyway), but from #7 on they get progressively lower indicating that section of the building is at an angle to the camera.
I know, it's a weird thing to fixate on, but.. ADHD brain is ADHD. :P
You need a tilt-shift lens to properly preserve the lines of architecture in photography. When taking a photo of a building, especially from below, with a wide angle lens so it captures the whole structure, the angles get distorted.
What struck me as weird is that it's not a smooth curve like you would expect from lens distortion or whatever, it's straight for 6 windows, then angled from #7 on, which is what made me wonder if the building was subtly angled or something.
