Sure it's a cliche, but I couldn't resist. And that's wide-angle lens distortion, not a curved wall.

Beautiful and meaningful photo. I think the title says it all, even though it is a visual pun.

Thanks Don!

[Keith Alan]

LOVE it.

Great shot. Just out of curiousity, posed or natural?

[slejhamer]

Thanks guys!

Not posed . Maddie had gone to that room ahead of me, and when I caught up she was standing there looking very awe-struck. There would have been better locations for a posed shot (no couch, no larger frame on one side) but that was the one.

Pretty clean image for ISO400 on a G9; also reasonably sharp for 1/13s hand-held. Gotta like that built-in IS.

Nice mitch! Very interesting capture! You should try some vignetting perhaps?

Great shot Mitch. The more I look at it the more I love it.

I know it isn't posed, but I don't think you could've posed it any better than this even if you tried.
I really can't fault the composition. The overall geometry and the balance between symmetrical and asymmetrical elements is perfect IMHO.
