Very good job on the getting the exposure correct, I have problems with that myself. You may want to try desaturating to get rid of the greenish ring, or perhaps just using a color tool.

Nice moon shot, but the green is a little disturbing. Good luck with your new lens, it has a nice range.

PAW - Very impressive, sharp, well exposed shot of the moon for a 75-300 zoom. I tried this before with my 18-200 and it didn't turn out well at all. I tried again tonight with similar results. I did it hand-held with stabilization turned on. A tripod would probably work better. Did you use fully manual exposure settings? It's hard to get good exposure with automatic. You may have gotten even a better shot with lower ISO.

Hey buddy I'm with ya on trying out new toys - priorities, ya know!

I see the green fringe that was mentioned. Shutter speed 1/125th; did you use a tripod? The pic is nice and sharp. Just fyi I think it's an interesting and worthy PAW.

Nice simple subject. I like the DOF, the sharpness and all the details in the wood. The blue tint works here well.
