Wide angle lenses accentuate the keystone effect when the camera is not parallel with the subject (e.g. when pointing upwards at a wall). Paul has largely corrected that in his edit but notice that he did not completely eliminate it. That's good because it would look a bit too unnatural if he had done so.
Parts of the building a bit too hot. Combining two or more bracketed exposures might let you recover some detail in a future shoot, without losing the character of the scene. Even a raw shot might have helped as I suspect you are already aware.
It's not critically important but I would like to know which lens you used and how much cropping you did so that I can better assess the lens flare. Can you show us a copy of the complete image, or at least tell us where the original centre was ?

Nice picture. I like paul's fix but i like your original spacing above flag better. For me a bit more grass in foreground would be better.
Yes - always worth trying to get more head-space when you take an image like this as you lose the top when you correct the distortion. You need to stretch the image slightly vertically after the correction or it looks "squished"
