Wide Angle Wednesday -,Distortion

I am glad I wasn't the only one to struggle with the wide angle distortion. When I was out shopping I tried lots of angles and views but couldn't get the pronounced barrel distortion I wanted. Back home I reread Mr hobbs' instructions and realised I hadn't done anything right but it now made sense. Will have to try this again armed with the right knowledge. 
I did manage good distortion on the blinds in our living room, however.
Thanks to hobbs for this interesting challenge.
