Steve,

I think corrected version is better.Majority of us nowadays is accustomed to use cameras without perspective control,so sometimes pictures straighten up digitally later on may look "strange".

I remember quite well composing shifted images on mate screen of my large format Linhof Technika IV.They seemed to look bizarre at first but this is just how day look after shifting (or horizontal perspective in Photoshop ect. ect.) is done.
