Lens Distortion?

This fence seems to bulge just right of centre. I can't remember if the original fence was like this, or whether it is distortion formed by using a wide-angle lens too closely. If so, can I correct it? What say you?

Distortion is always more noticeable using a wide lens close. Like big long noses in portraits. . Yes I notice the DP2 does show up much more than the DP3, which seems to have very little distortion, which is in line with the longer focal length. I have PhotoNinja which is quite good and easy and Cs6 if I take the image from Bridge with the option into Camera Raw where there is the opportunity for manual correction.
I've no idea if SSP has an auto correction. . I am trying to open SSP while writing to have a look, so it will be while before I can find out :D.
Could not see anything.

Auto Sharpen ???? Smart sharpen ;)
 
Luckily Rob you have an image here with a subject matter that can handle some distortion without been noticed. I don't notice it unless I'm seeing a slight curvature at the bottom, but that's only because you mention it. I would not be too concerned as this is a good image of a bulging fence.;)
