There was supposed to be an image on Jan. 22, I think, about 3 days before sunset. It's not released yet. There were probably images on several adjacent orbits. This LPSC abstract:
http://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2014/pdf/1859.pdf has an oblique image from the end of the first lunar day, so we may have had more like that as well as an overhead view. Only a few days to sunrise for Yutu and Chang'E 3 now - I was just looking at the wide crescent tonight. It's getting bigger!
