Question, did you shoot this with a wide angle lens?

I shot this with a 50 on a crop sensor. I was about 2' from the subject which is way closer than I'd normally get but this is my daughter so she's used to it. With a subject who isn't my daughter, I'd probably be shooting my 70-800 from 10-15' away and in the 100mm neighborhood.

I don't know what your daughter looks like, but that close you're gonna get some perspective distortion. Which seems to show in this shot.

Apart from that it looks very nice.

Really good shot.  I like the lines, the contrast really works.
