It definitely is that conical from this angle, you just aren’t used to seeing it from this perspective.

It definitely is not that conical. OP butchered Baker's profile. Look for the Coleman Pinnacle in both images, these are from a similar POV and only one shows Baker's natural shape: https://i.imgur.com/9SZhj0B.jpeg

Thats distortion because of telephoto lens. This is a wider shot, so, more conical.

I could post wider shots taken with a shorter focal length all day long but none will compare to OP's doctored work. A wider lens compresses both the x and y.

The OP's picture just looks silly now compared to these.
