I must admit I have been lax in both my shooting and posting recently, perhaps due to the fact my wife has now retired, and we are spending a LOT more time together doing various activities.

The Sun and the Moon: Edited to add last photo
I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

I am not expect but the gaps in hair would bother Hurley for sure. Other than that seems good to me.
I like it apart from the gaps mentioned, which are not a massive no no. Your subject is very slightly too pale, imo. The expression may not be a classic Hurley, not that I am a student of his style. Often Peter has his white backgrounds totally white, ie so white they only just register as not being over white. You do have a lovely uniformity to your white background but it is argualbly just too dark.
Looks to me like you and your lovely model are poking a bit of fun at Mr. H.
Good job!
Lets see more.
cheers
Thanks for the comments, I agree with everything said. This was the last shot taken, hence the silly pose but I thought it was the most interesting and the flash didn't actually fire so whitened the background in post. thanks again.
