Sprinkles of Color In the Winter

I captured these rich sprinkles of color in the town of Sinaia nearing the end of the winter season. To be honest, I’m not a mountain kind of guys, especially if it’s winter time. Although the city commodities work well for me, I can do a city break to the mountain, especially if I get to take some photos. What amazes me is the fact that if I try to correct the perspective distortion (you can see the trees are not entirely straight) this photo goes from great to mediocre. I’m sure there’s some sort of explanation for this, but I’d rather enjoy the photo as it is than waste time with questions.
