Thanks for the link.

A comparative test

Comparison of a Canon EF 24-105/4.0 L IS USM versus a EF 28-105/3.5-4.5 USM and a EF 28-135/3.5-5.6 IS USM shot at different focal length and at different f-stops using a Canon EOS 10D set at ISO 100

Links fixed

*sigh* BBCode does not like it when you wrap URLs in quotation marks, which is bad when you switch back and forth between the HTML convention for links, which requires them.

They're fixed now.

Well, the THUMBNAIL looks nice! :)

However, when I click to view what I assume would be the full-size image, I get http://www.resonant.org for some reason. The same applies to the link to your apple challenge photo.

Too dark?

Interestingly, the only criticism so far is that the background is too dark. If I made it any lighter, I'd think that I'd get criticism that the background is too noisy.

The shot isn't doing as well as I'd hoped so far, though there's a chance it will improve thoughout the week.

Yep...

... you're an astronomer.

Thanks. I submitted the 40mm Forehand shot. As long as you're not seeing a technical flaw in it, the judges consistently score dramatic shots above realistic shots, as long as I don't cross over the line and make it downright surreal.

I liked all three very much. The lighting on 40mm Forehand is indeed more dramatic than the others, but it also struck me as a little too much; the Backhand shots looked more natural (and thus more attractive, for my tastes). As for which the judges might prefer, I have no idea.

As an aside, it was very hard to tell what the subject was in the thumbnails. It was only after seeing the full images that I realized it wasn't the Sun through a filter!

Actually, I'll bet that would make an impressive picture, especially if there are a lot of large sunspots.
