lovely eyes...amazing image...her head looks smaller maybe because she is walking and part of the head is camouflaged by the body...also this looks like a shot taken from quite a distance..

Murugan,
You are right. This image was taken from very far. She was far off. The image was clicked at an effective focal length of 1.3*800 = 1024mm
I used 800mm and my camera has a factor of 1.3 as my sensor is smaller than a full frame 35mm sensor. This would not have been possible during the film days.

Sharp considering the distance, but I'm not too sure about the central placement, although the two bushes on either side do balance out things.

thats nice image.. two bushes give different feel....over lovely image... no nit...

I liked it..but central framing , i m not sure bout it either. How about cropping little bit? (Amateurs suggestion )

Neil,
Normally central placement makes the image static. However, in this case, there are two bushes on both sides and that balances this image. Hence, I clicked it this way.
