Although it's still loose enough composition to barely get away with it as is. It might seem strange to be shooting portraits with a 400mm lens, however my son Scott does any number of his portrait type photographs with a Canon 400 2.8. He does so because it gives him separation from his subject and separates the subject from their surroundings, back ground. It's a shooting style that requires some patients so you feel comfortable with the long lens. But it does provide a different look to the subject than the usual 90 or 135mm. ted
