Taken just after crossing south through the Canadian border, minutes before the top of descent into ORD. At this altitude, the curvature of the earth is observable.

I think you are right about the barrel distortion! I have now tried a 35mm lens out the window at the same altitude and I can see no curvature.
Could the curvature be actually an artefect of the lens distortion? The barrel distortion with short focal length can also make it appear so. I wondered so when I thought I observed the Earth's curvature. But anyways, nicee work!
