It's particularly noticable in the outdoor shots. The images get more "welcoming" as you move toward the 21 end.

BTW, this view of your house is more fun than the one taken from the other side, from the driveway across the street. We saw those in the early M8 days.
the first sentence confuses me, do you mean the 16 has more "immediacy" than the 21, but the 21 is more welcoming? I am not sure I follow-

I do know from shooting interiors however, that a lot of photogs immediately grab for the widest lens possible and often that destroys the room relationships by artificially spreading them out. My idea is that I try to actually use the "longest" lens I can to render an interior as close to natural as is possible. The widest is not always the best, and a sense of "intimacy" or welcoming as you put it is the result.
