Ah! I forgot to mention the interesting part... My little brother is an astronomy nut and this photo was taken with his 10" Newtonian Reflector telescope, A great big thing that takes two people to carry. I think it has a focal length of about 800mm but I haven't tested. We just recently got an adapter so that I can mount my camera on it.
I posted this one because I thought the pose was interesting but I did get some more straight forward poses as wall: http://www.islandlight.ca/showphoto.php?image_id=542 It does have the bottom cropped off but other then that it's basically full frame.
