    Very nice! I'm wondering about bringing up the darks a little more? Should be possible without losing the light areas. A touch of fill flash works well with these guys -- doesn't seem to bother them at all. Impressive IQ -- at 6400! (Doesn't everyone miss film, SO much!?)

    WoW...iso 6400!! I think your new camera is going to be lots of fun! Diane has a good point about bringing up the darks some. Great pose on this hummer with the uplifted wings and head.

    Paul, Cheryl, Diane, Nancy, Jackie,

    Thanks much for the comments. They are much appreciated. I left the darks for the theme mostly, agree a little lift would work. Enjoying the new camera (it's so tiny compared to my D4 ;-).

    Cheers,

    -Michael-
