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 would consider this more of a portrait rather than a headshot.
Personally I find seeing only the white of her left eye disturbing. What were you trying to communicate here?
I'll have to agree with you, Roger. It reminds me of Fetty Wap (who is missing an eye).
I agree this is more of a portrait than a head shot.
Even if it's more of a portrait, here are a few things you could do to improve it. First, it's underexposed. Pull her away from the background. This will throw the wall or door or whatever it is out of focus and bring the attention back to your beautiful subject. Be careful of your crop. It's SO close to a nice frame, but cutting into her chin kills it for me. Last, just bring her chin a few clicks back toward the lens and you would nail this. Hope this helps.
