You are very observant, Nathan.  It was my fault.  I shot the image 
without getting out of a comfortable recliner, and it was at a crazy 
angle.  I attempted to make the bookcase sides vertical, and, in doing 
so, warped the image.  Don't attribute it to anything except poor 
photography.

I told myself that either you or Moose would pick up on it, but put it 
up anyway.

I also like the portrait of my son.  I finally caught a slight smile. :-)

I am quite happy with the lens.  Someone returned it to B&H, and I got 
it at a 20% discount.
