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.
