This evening I chose a subject that was actually out of reasonable range for either end of the focal length of the 17-40mm lens, but I did it for a reason. Both shots were taken from the same spot, with a left of center focus point on the blonde horse left of center. Both were treated to the same Lightroom corrections, including the crop from the center.
This is Cherokee Winds Farm, nestled between Buckhall Road and Prince William Parkway, not a mile from the City of Manassas. I saw critters running and playing, so my impression is that they at least are still being well cared for.

EXIF: ISO 640 @17&40mm, f:/11 1/60 sec.
I took these two shots this morning to demonstrate something. The first one is shot at 17mm from very close to the church. The second was shot from 33mm from much further away. I wanted to show the difference.
So sure, a very wide lens will allow you to take a wide shot from up close, and sometimes that’s what you need. But it’s not always the best shot.
