In the second photo, you can see the image from a broader perspective, the image has been done with a wide angle, enabling the viewer to see what the photographer would’ve seen, and adding more character and depth to the actual image itself. Whilst in the first photo you can see that the photographer is zoomed into just the castle giving a less depth and a less exciting image for the viewer to look like aka the telephoto angle.
This is another example of the wide angle and the telephoto angle, in the first image it is the wide angle which shows all the mountains and a beautiful sky, whilst in the second image, the telephoto angle, you can see that it is a photo of only a small part of the mountains and only a tiny bit of the sky. Therefore creating a less exciting image for the viewer to look at.
