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.

A very nice headshot. Good expression and pose/composition. I think the hair light is a bit strong and the key light might have been better a little further to the side so to cast a bit of soft shade on the right of the face, to make it a bit more 3d and real. But it is nearly excellent, IMO.
I like how the model's personality is coming through.
Thank You!
I think that this image would benefit from a lighter background. With a young, happy, female subject like this, I'd be inclined to go solid white to separate her from the BG, and lighten up the mood. I also think that her expression is a little forced/posed. Getting a natural smile might be the hardest thing in headshot photography, but this is a great start! Keep at it!
