Lens Distortion
Lens projection can bend straight lines or stretch edges, changing the sense of space; distinguish this from perspective exaggeration at close range.
Prompt
Apply clearly visible coherent barrel lens distortion to the exact same framed scene. Existing straight corridor beams, posts and grid lines near the frame edges should bend smoothly outward with one consistent radial pattern around the image center. Keep Zlatia's original face and main features in the central low-distortion zone, intact and recognizable. Do not zoom in, move the camera, change her pose, stretch a random limb, use ordinary near-far perspective as a substitute or add a circular black fisheye border.

Effect comparison
In the baseline image, the corridor columns, doorframes and wall divisions remain mostly straight. The lens-distortion version bends architectural lines outward near the edges of the frame, with less effect on Zlatia toward the center. The regular barrel-shaped curvature changes how the space seems to wrap around the viewer, while the figure remains a stable visual center.
