Rear wheel stance question

I've never really looked closely at the rear wheel stance until I recently had my winters swapped for summers. Question is - does this look right? I took a quick pic showing the comparison in angle between front and rear. Front wheels seem 90 degrees but rears seem angled in slightly - is this normal? (car is stock btw). Side by side pic (one with lines one without) - Green line showing front angle and red line showing rear angle...

It's called Negative Camber and yes you're ok

This is when you're not ok:

Perfectly normal, and preferred even. The factory specifies a bit of negative camber. If you look top-down, you'll also notice that the wheels don't point perfectly straight forward, but rather "point inward" just ever so slightly.
