Perspectives with a wide field of view can be altered to reduce bowing in an
image. Doctor John posted an Architectural Field Camera macro a few months
ago which does a great job of producing a two-point perspective (objects
get smaller in the distance, and right-left, but not vertically). This
keeps the tops of buildings from bowing in and still looks very natural.
Since images are framed in a rectangle our eye can find the perfectly
natural bowing to be "wrong."

For my image of Venice I take this one step further, using a one-point
perspective, where objects only get smaller in the distance. Of course,
things can get a little weird as objects away from the center are larger
than they would naturally appear.
