Why 24mm focal length?

Photographed the week before with a 100 - 400mm and missed most of the tail.
Wanted to give the comet a sense of scale/size by going wide and including the two trees (living and dead) and the swamp.

Watch out for a future copy of Discover Magazine (USA) with this photo as it Masthead Image :)

Cheers John

This is absolutely stunning! You enjoyed a much better show than we did here in the Northern Hemisphere. Your shot definately deserves the UF Awards and a magazine cover. Congratulations on nthat! I appreciate your sharing all the setting information and the previous tries that did not work so well. Magnificant.

Stunning work John and the 24mm was a perfect choice!! Grounding the image makes it that much more real . . . and this image needs to be made 'real' to be truly appreciated!

John what can I say!!! This image absolutely kicks butt big time!!! No amount of awards will be enough for this image. Excellent composition and WHAT A SUBJECT!!!! I am SO envious (in a good way) of you southern hemisphere dwellers for the spectacle this comet delivered! Up north we saw an impressive daytime comet.... but you saw the comet of a lifetime! Many many congrats on this spectacular image and I hope it gets published many many times for you! Hats off to you!

Superb work! The trees provide the perfect framing. I love the hint of a reflection. The stars fill the sky beautifully, and the pink horison adds a gentle touch.
You would have to believe in a creator after viewing an image like this! CC
