^ It's the focal length of the lens. A wide-angle lens like that will exaggerate certain angles that move toward or away from the camera. So the angles of the corners are not that pronounced as they look there. You can tell by the angles on the WFC tower behind it, which obviously doesn't have any acute angles.
