That looks good too :-)

The reason why it looks strange is that the first image is used as
an anchor and is placed in the middle of the output - so it has very
little distortion.  The second image has been distorted to fit.

Open the 'Panorama Preview' window and click on the button at the
top left ('Centre the preview horizontally'), this will equalise the
amount of distortion by placing both pictures as near to the middle
of the output as possible.
