"In addition to giving a wider angle of view, the image produced by a wide-angle lens is more susceptible to perspective distortion than that produced by a normal lens, because they tend to be used much closer to the subject."
Wikipedia's explanation of why perspective distortion is more evident with a wide angle. Which makes sense to me, because it would have been hard to get that water temple completely in the shot, at the distance I was from it, WITHOUT a wide angle.
