Photography Challenge #1: Photo 2 - Zoom Lens Portrait, Natural Light

A portrait taken with my kit zoom lens at 170mm, f/5.6. I like this one better than the 35mm portrait in the previous Challenge post. The lighting isn't as flat because I had to relocate the engine to get it into the focal range of the lens. As a result, the background and foreground picked up interesting features that the lens length enhanced.

I think it's for this reason that photographers like to shoot portraits at 200mm.
