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.

I like the connection with the subject here. Looks like he's a guy who knows what he's doing. He doesn't look uncomfortable or scared etc. Light is pretty good too. Direct sunlight probably, but it works here with this subject. The background is a bit busy to my taste and the left upper corner with a spot of blue sky distracts a bit, otherwise i like the crop. Shallower depth of field probably would have worked better. Your style of post production is not my favourite. Low contrast, slight desaturation, maybe some software film emulation preset you use?
I appreciate the feedback. My post editing skills does need work. I will use this information to my advantage to correct these errors in all of my work moving forward. Thank you!
I adore shooting while I'm able to capture the natural sun light casting on my subject(s)
