What a difference focal lengths make ...
Have to say that I was surprised and fascinated by the outcome of this exercise.. I used my Sigma 18-250mm lens to take a the same framing of an image at different focal lengths..

| P748: F8 @ 1/13 250mm ISO 100 |
From this distance facial features are regular with no distortion..a flattering distance and definitely acceptable.
 |
| P749: F8 @ 1/30 128mm ISO 100 |
Not a lot of difference at 128mm (P749 )...still acceptable..
 |
| P751: F8 @ 1/15 51mm ISO 100 |
At 51 mm above facial features are changing i.e. the face seems slightly elongated ..narrower and more oval in shape..the hairstyle looks a little different now. Still acceptable though - and strangely more flattering and attractive ...less lines which may be of course due more to the relaxed expression..

| P752: F8 @ 1/20 18mm ISO 100 |
Definitely distorted ...my model's face is now very oval in shape ..the nose much more pronounced and spreading more across the face..Hair is somehow flatter and almost looks a totally different cut! Very much 'in your face' from the observer's point of view. Not a flattering look!!
