That is nice. The high ISO shots on the K5 have a nice look to them.

That is a great shot and example of the high iso of the K-5. I wish my
Nikon D2H at 400 was that good, but it is ancient technology at 7
years old.:-)That was one of my major nits with my D2H, among others,
that the iso noise was not that great 400 and above.

even the one or two where you don't see their eyes are interesting.
