I posted an image at the other cool shots section about my D70 being pushed to shoot at ISO 1600 but did not get any C&C so I thought I'd try to post my images here one by one for some good old-fashioned C&C's. Thank you for viewing.

Nikon D70, Nikon 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 lens at 200mm, ISO 1600, f/5.6 at 1/30 second.

    The lighting is wonderful... Did you try the crop without the woman?

    Thanks, Rags. I could do an edit cropping the praying woman on the right. However, I was trying to preserve the triangular composition between the woman on the left, the man, and the woman on the right. I got the idea from one cinematography book I am reading. Trying to learn more about composition and apply them. The D70 can be pushed at ISO 1600 but only when the quality of the light is OK. Of course, the built in Noise Reduction feature of LR 4.1 really helped a lot to control the digital grain noise.:D thumb.gif

    I like the warm light, bot did you consider BW? Last year I had a shot of a man praying in a mosque and loved the light in color. However, in the end I opted for BW and with some PP it was much better.
