I'm looking at the portraits of the woman on the beach and I'm not understanding how to get from one to the other with cropping. What am I missing?

The photographer had to move quite a bit further back to get the subject to be the same size in the frame at 150mm as the subject was at 35mm.

They could have used the 35mm lens at the same distance as the 150mm lens and simply cropped and the perspective compression would be the same (it'd just be a lower resolution image).

You have to take several steps back, then take the picture and crop.

Of course, on many cameras you then would get a smudgy or pixelated mess.
