I'm not an expert, but I use wide lenses as if they weren't so wide. I was 
about 3 feet away, which is reasonable. That picture is a crop to about 1/3 
of the image area, and this was an M8, so in essence I was shooting as if it 
were a 75. In my head I kept saying to myself "just ignore the outer reaches 
of the frame and focus your attention and your camera on her face". I think 
that if I had shot it with the M6 using a 75 it would have had the same 
perspective and about the same crop. Except 
that I don't have a 75, and I do have a 28....
