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.

Is that background real? It feels composited because the light on her is so even.
yes..its real background..i don`t do composite..
For me, the "unreal" feeling comes from the strong flash (probably around 30% or more contribution) and that gives the background with natural sunlight a fake feeling. This can be magnified if the subject is standing in shade and is standing against the brighter areas of the shot.
shot like this you should be focusing on the eyes.... i humbly think you miss the eyes
I agree. Looks like the focus hits the cheek. We've all been there though.
