The Sun and the Moon
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.

My preference is to concentrate on the subject - a headshot is about faces. In the first photo there is a lot of negative space (OK as it doesn't draw attention from the model) above the midline and then a lot of "other" in the lower half. The "other" detracts from the model. The hands and black pattern in the second shot have the same detracting effect. In the third, I might crop-up a little tighter - maybe not? I might also move the hair light to bring the top of the subjects head out of the background (instead of the brightness emphasis on the back (as the eye is drawn to brightness). Really great looking model!!
