The 75mm f/1.8

I was going to say, I use the 75mm quite a lot but when I look back, most of the shots I "like" end up being landscapes or street candids. Probably because, as you say it puts you at a greater distance.

The only thing that seemed off about your wonderful photo - and it's purely personal - is the angle of the photo. It appears as if you are looking down. I try to get at eye level with the person I'm shooting. But I say that just because it's the only criticism I can think of.  

These pictures, taken with the 75mm f/1.8, combine shallow DOF with 'enough background information' to tell give you context...
