Which photo is better?

[turbowagon]

So, why did I post two nearly identical photographs? Joe hit the nail on the head (spoilsport :biggrin. One was taken with a Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens I just purchased, the other with a Canon EF 28-135mm f3.5-4.6 IS lens, which is about 2 generations old and came bundled as a "kit" lens with a camera I bought 6 years ago.

For my prize, I'll take that 60mm f/2.8 off your hands. You don't need it anyway. :tongue:

good photos. you could bounce light off a white or grey board to get rid of the hot spot.

I think most missed the difference which is in the shadow detail. Photo B is clearly better.

Take a look at post Just for grins, which has the same two photos but in reverse order. There, I suspect you will think that photo A has clearer shadow detail. The difference is not in the photos, but in which one appears on top.
