I saw the original image last night, and was waiting until the unauthorized, copyrighted, professional's image was pulled before I replied....you know so *** ******** wouldn't come in and spout off and tell me what an idiot old man I am and say that my judgement is bad and I can't shoot myself free of a lenscap...
Looked to me like it was shot with a medium telephoto lens from close-ish range, something like a 135mm f/2 telephoto lens at f/2.8 or so from about 15 feet, hence the shallow DOF look to it.
