  • \$\begingroup\$ @labnut - I tried a few, but one of things I wanted to do was get the shape difference between the two lenses in play. Though, perhaps, it may have worked better without that. Hm... \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ See bullet #5 in the question. That's the size of the image as it will appear in the header if it's selected. It's not really fair to judge a large, high-res image against a smaller cropped one, and since the featured image ends up having to be 375x210, it only makes sense to judge all the photos at that size. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ I don't think your title did you any favors. It was hard (for me anyway) not to search for drug connotations in the pictures being that (at least in the US) 'herb' is a euphemism for marijuana... \$\endgroup\$
