find the blue border distracting. Might want to show less moon & more black background

Excellent lunar shot! Exposure is perfect - composition is also very nice. That ugly blue border should be launched into outer space - never to return!

I'm sure I'm saying the same thing many others have, but the blue border costs you at least a point in this challenge. It's quite distracting. Also, I find the photo a bit soft to really show off the texture of the moon at this magnification.

Hey, your lenses can't be keept on a usual basket, you need a garaje! Or you have cam attached to a telescope (more credible). Have you tried to shoot at saturn moons or similar? 8

I assume you've got an slr mount on a telescope for this? I think I'm getting lens envy as I've mucked around with moon shots in the past and could never get the focal length for this sort of detail. Impressive.

wow that's some lens! I think a narrower blue border (or black only) woud be a bit better. I'm amazed at the crispness of your shot.

either focus problems or a little bit of atmospheric distortion. nice try though! Its hard to capture this without a ccd camera and telescope

Amazing that you could get this close into the moon. Looks a bit noisy, and the blue border is distracting.

Wow, if that was taken by your camera then it must be an extraordinary one! Awesome shot!

unbelieable close up...cool

Nice. Maybe a little work on the levels to bring out the surface features a bit?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/30/2004 06:02:28 AM
humm now lemme see, who does framing like this?
nice photo

Borders don't bother me normally, but the thickness of the blue line takes my attention away from the picture. Good shot through the telescope, although I wish it was just a little sharper.
