Doesn't happen to me very often, but I got too close to this one.

Wow. At 365mm focal length, how close were you? And, how'd you manage to get that close?

Whoa! 1/6400 and still so bright! Not really noisy, but I think you could have used a lower ISO. ;)
Ha... who's got time for settings in a situation like that!?

Truly an amazing capture... I do like it as cropped, but is this pretty much full-frame? It doesn't seem "too close" somehow considering... I'd sure be tempted to lighten the self-shadowed head and eye and maybe tone the highlights on the breast. Might belong on the wall.

quite a shot,

Kenn

I don't think it's to close, but the eyes are not sharp, no light....

Yep, that's close. Often, the closer they are the more difficult to get the shot.
