I suspect you zoomed out, and pointed towards the ground. Because of the wide-angle lens effect, straight lines like the horizon will look curved... depending on where you point, the curve will be one way or another. The exact shape of the distortion also depends on the projection type you use.

If this doesn't seem to answer your question, please post a link to a screenshot and describe in more detail what you mean.

Can you help with this problem?
