Thanks for the hosting offer Bifurcator!
However, my humble example would be nothing spectacular.
Though I do have some nice processed ones from my 40D, 1.4TC, Canon 100-400L.
The example I was thinking of was from earlier this year, i shot in evening daylight through the pear trees that were in bloom.
It was kind of interesting, in that, at 100% view, the moon was kind of nice.
It's from a 5DMkII, so, it would be a huge file.
I'd rather see examples from alt lenses.
Thanks!

Well it's pretty simple really. Just load the original file into photoshop or whichever editor you use. Use the crop tool and drag out the box to tightly fit around the moon part of the image. Perform the crop and then save the image as a Jpeg at high quality. That's it. Nothing to it really. If you never scale the image it will always be considered to be a "100%" sample and after cropping it will be called a "100% crop".
If you have a really long lens and/or a 20+ megapixel camera then there might be an instance where the poster would feel uncomfortable posting such a huge image. In such a case they (you?) can either post a scaled version in-line here with a link to the 100% crop (I'll provide a host for anyone needing it) or post some section or sections of the 100% image here directly.
I don't want to appear too anal about having 100% crops posted. - it's not all that big a deal. It's just that if it's scaled it's only a pretty picture. Whereas if it's 100% then it's additionally useful in determining some of qualities of the lens being used. I like buying, trying, and selling lenses as I think some others here do too - and thought this might make a fairly good reference topic.
The only factor we're overlooking is the environment. If the person is at six to eight thousand feet under pristine skies even a piss-poor lens is going to look awesome compared to a sweet L or zeiss lens at sea-level in 70 or 80% humidity in a dust storm - which is going to look like total crud! (all tween variants being relative). But that can't be helped I guess. So just go for it.
