And as final insult & injury; it was taken a couple of days ago with a beautiful clear blue sky, I decided to desaturate that as I tweaked the stone work, I don't really know why...
EOS 5D, 12mm on 12-24mm
1/500 @ f/8.0 ISO 100 
In fact, to hells with it, have a peek at the from-camera jpeg while we're here.

Was it the Tokina or the Sigma 12-24mm you picked up? (...or neither). A super wide zoom is next on my lens wish list. Though I've got my eyes firmly set on the Sigma 10-20 (well really the canon 10-22 but i don't have that kind of cash) due to shooting an APS-C sensor camera.
It does look like there's quite a bit of barrel distortion...unless that fence at the bottom left is actually curved.
Apart from that, it's a fairly decent first attempt with a super wide lens. I think it's maybe a bit over rotated and I'm not too keen on the spotty sky as someone already mentioned.
