Shots like this make me want to get my d70 soooo bad.
The detail is superb. Along with your photography talent, you will be in blue territory soon enough.

Clean pic Darren.
I think maybe you should trade you D70 for my Olympus E-10 though. It'll get you a lot more ribbons.
Straight up trade?

I'm sure you will be happy with the D70. Its a great camera. With your score don't expect miracles its a learning curve with the new camera but it will open up lots of photographic creativity.

Like the shot, good luck.

I have to sell my 717 first then think about it.
Hoping these stock sights can help me get there quicker.
Good luck with yours Darren.
