Another very cool spot lit image. D3s must be a joy to use, can't wait till I add one to my D300. Nice and sharp. Well done. TFS

Another fine subtle use of spotlight/D3S combo here Chris, look forward to putting my new D3S to similar tests come September.

Top class image Chris. Still cant believe how that D3s handles those ISOs. Love the detail and Lighting. The eyes take it over the top.

Nice image. I really like the looks of those spotlight images taken with high ISO without additional flashing. Animals really pop out.
But...it rapidly seems to rise in popularity and I do hope guides keep they're spotlight ethics. It's always best to spotlight cats with a red spotlights. Especially if you're spotlighting them for an extended period.

God use of the spotlight Chris, and I like the result. That high ISO is amazing.
