The Moon
by SteveEveritt
Taken with the da55-300 and teleplus 2x converter, tweaked to get rid of yellow fringing, blacks upped a notch and sharpened. Hope you like it (-:

That is remarkably sharp (with surprisingly low noise) for a 300mm zoom with 2x TC! A very good result. It could be personal preference, but I like framing my moon shots as if the whole circle of themoon was visible (i.e. I think you need more space on the left).

It is really sharp - great shot. Sort of agree with Tim about framing.

This picture seems an illustration of an astronomical publication. I almost feel the mass of the Moon. Perfect picture, congratulations.

Yes, leave more 'space' to the left.(no pun intended.) I can almost see Mr. Armstrong's flag. Nice shot.
