Chuck,
I was very close to the house when I shot my photo with the Horizon. So,
the ends of the house were considerably further away from the camera than
was the center of the house, which was only a few feet away.
Distortion is also minimized in your example by the fact that the camera
is leveled so that the horizon is dead-center in the photo. Mine¹s not.
