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 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.

Background and light are perfect. She is an interesting model, but a little smile would have been better in this case, I think. The eyes are retouched too much for me, looks unrealistic and this does not fit within a realistic photo. Forehead looks oversharpened (after smoothing it first) when viewing full size. Overall really good image, maybe consider to lower the opacity on the eye retouching.
thank you so much friend..really appreciate your c&c..i need this to improve my next shoot..
Work on your white balance a little more. Your image is green shifted quite a bit and a little on the cool side. I know WB can be tricky to nail down when there's so much green and blue in the background.
thank you mr. fumi nakamura..yes..i realise that my problem is how to do a good color management..the WB is very tricky.
Also, your subject's skin seems to be a bit oily. Try backing up your light source so that you get more diffusion and you won't get that harsh shine on her face.
NOted! tqvm mr.fumi nakamura..will do better for the next shoot..
love the background and light, i would have positioned her different, it looks like she is straining. but otherwise awesome
tqvm yehuda bortz...noted
