What sort of lens did you use to get that close up? Did you crop the shot after wards?

Image was shot with the 18-200 VR lens at 120mm. It was cropped to 8x10 format only. I have other shots that are head shots. I was about 20 feet or so away. The corner of the cabin is on my left shoulder. I would ease out slowly with the camera up to my face, snap a couple and ease back behind the cabin. This worked until other people showed up.
