Hi dave,The VI looks better than the D800 to me.
I must admit I expected more detail from the D800.
Lesthanks Neil , that's what I needed to hear as I'm in same boat as you ( well, not quite ,as you actually have a camera while I can only dream ).
Looks pretty nice to me Neil. Were you using a monopod or tripod? Love the subject too. A real beauty. Thank you for your post.
