So as I've stated previously I've been practicing with Manual, and the different settings. Tonight there was a beautifully clear sky and a full moon high in the sky begging to have it's picture taken. I took a few different shots using different settings. The four pictures I'm going to share with you were all taken with a 200mm focal length, the aperture was set at F8.0 and the ISO was set at 100. Each picture has a different shutter speed and that's what makes the difference. I actually like each of these pictures. The only editing I did was cropping it down a bit.
This is at Shutter Speed 1/400s as you can see it is a little too dark 
Next was at 1/250s a little lighter but still not quite right
1/160s I like this one the best
1/80s the meter said this was dead on, but it might be a little too bright
So what do you think folks? good?

I like the one that you liked as well~
Very Good! I was going to try and get a few pics of it tonight, but it's overcast right now.
They are very pretty, full moons freak me out though. Something always happens with a full moon. I like the third one as well.
I also liked the 3rd one best , good work.
I like the 3rd picture the best.
thanks for taking a pic of MY full moon! Once a year it goes into Capricorn, as it does for each sign, so this is my time to howl!
I like them all but the third one is the best.
Thank you for posting your photo at Pretty Pictures.
Oh, I was just going to bed - but now I'm running outside to try for a moon shot, before I turn in.
I like # 3 the best - nice shots!
You can really see that bridge up there nowadays. :)
all of them are way better than anything I could manage
Beautiful shots!
I really like 3 & 4. Hard to choose between the two. Good shots!
I like the 4th one the best
good job! I set up my camera myself when I take photos of the moon.

Very good photos. I like full moons, especially on nights where' there's no clouds.

Excellent shots

You did a wonderful job with the moon photos......They are all good but I will have to agree with you, I like the third one the best!
Great job
the last two were amazing, the full moon is so beautiful and myserious!
My first thought was, "A gold moon?" Silver perhaps, but not gold. It's a tie between the last two. Great work.
Great shots!
Excellent shots! Better than mine, I think it's my camera holding me back...
Thank you for posting to Any Photo Art
This would be a great entry for the How Did You Do That? ~ Photo Art July Competition in Photo Art Monthly Competitions
Nice shots. I have a hard time deciding between the third and fourth shot. The fourth one might be a bit light.
I starred long and hard, and I have to say. I like them all for different reasons. I know this doesn't help you, but I just can't decide. Sorry but you're just too good.
These are great shots
