 I know, I know, YOU don't shot a portrait with a 21 mm lens at 1 and a half feet, but I do. In a restaurant booth with huge window to the right and weird wallpaper to the left.

haha - beware the glare! I like how you are referring to the challenge instructions, because I thought that "hint" was a little odd. Nice photo.

It's bold to shoot a portrait with a wide angle. Loose the red in the background.

Beware, also, wide-angle lenses on large nosed people. Not so flattering... But the humor and the engagement of subject with camera keep my interest.
