That can be the problem with rectilinear lenses. When you really want to emphasize the wideness, they tend to compress the image so that it doesn't have the impact of the real scene. I have found that the fisheye view is more impacting and tends to show the wide-ness better. The apparent distortion actually helps you recognize the expanse better.
