looks great to me... I have the same issue with my signals only on the opposite side...
I've gone down only twice but never on that side so it's always been that way...I've considered straightening it out but then thought I'd best leave it alone in case I break something...

I expected it to be an easy fix, but when I started to crank on it, I got uncomfortable with how much force it was taking and I chickened out for fear of breaking it.
In normal life, it's never apparent. Easier to leave it in real life and fix it in Photoshop if I take such a shot again.

It was damn hard to get this photo. It's not quite as good as I had hoped for but the more I look at it, the more I like it.
It was taken with my vintage Helios all-manual lens, 58mm f/2.0, shot wide open on my Rebel T3. ISO 100, and a long-ish exposure of 1/8 of a second. It's cropped down quite a bit from the original as I wanted that nice flat look that comes with a semi-tele shot.

An industrial look...I like it.
If you had #6 instead of a 4 behind it would’ve been nice.
