This is a shot from one of my friends, we did an impromptu shoot-she has no prior experience except one other shoot with a different photographer friend last year.

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.

Well, I see the idea, but to my personal preference the girl is way too underexposed, I would've brighten her up a bit and darken the sky a tiny bit :) Aaaand I suggest you not to cut the picture on elbows :P Good job tho :)
Thank you for the input!
I second the elbow crop, but pose is good, and lighting is good except for it really could use a fill light or reflector. If you don't have one, get a big white reflector and play with it. It can do amazing things when shooting someone against a sunset/sunrise.
That is something I do need to get!
I agree the elbow crop and as Joseph said, a reflector or even just a large sheet of white cardboard would have made an amazing difference. Nice work.
