Cool. Reminds of the images made by the pathfinder in 1994.

lol TM!
I'm such a nerd, I was watching this on NASA TV when it touched down (and for the first photos)
My question is... where's the friggin' ice? Hopefully it doesn't have to travel far.

Its just how NASA is choosing to take photos for this mission. The camera on the mission are designed more for technical and scientific reason's than just taking regular pictures.
Digging up ground and analyising it is the purpose of the mission so they want to have as much of the foreground in the picture as possible. They don't really need to see the sky so much.
Eventually they are going to do a whole 360 panarama, composed from all these narrow FOV shots

Even those shots look like composite shots. You can see the seams along the edges and the image seems to be 2X wide. You can see a seam in the sky.
What was that old saying?
