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.

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.

Picture one, the light is to dull and too frontal. This flattens the image. The lack of contrast in the man and the cool colour just kill it. The background is too dark against such a pale reproduction of the subject. It is about sensitive selection of tones, colours and lighting plus the ususal human interaction, of course.
Picture 2, the colour is better the background is nicely out of focus but still illchosen, it is distracting. Stong geometric shapes, however out of focus are generally going to pull the eye away from you subject. Ditto bright red stuff.
