Animated GIF comparing perspectives. Frame 1 is taken at a distance of ~8 inches (~200mm) with a 28mm lens, Frame 2 is taken at a distance of about 10 feet (3m) with a 200mm lens.

Notice the components which are obscured by taller objects (bulk decoupling caps, heat sink, jumper block in top left corner) in the close perspective frame, especially in the corners. Also notice the difference in geometric (barrel) distortion of the board.
