The second shot is cropped, but otherwise unedited. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">The third has been enhanced (exposure and sharpening) with iPhoto's editing tools.</li> </ol>This perfectly illustrates for me the way that zooming in can give a better exposure for the object you want to capture - as well as fact I could nail the ID of a moth from 30 yards!CheersMike</blockquote>
