nicely done!

imo #10 will be even better if you can get the reflection of the model into the frame.

The reflection was natural. The marble wall is reflective. I just pump a light from the side and naturally the wall captured the reflection.

Thanks for dropping by, Richard.

Thanks for your comments. I would leave the specular highlights alone. I want them there so that there is a sense of facial contours.

I did reduce color noise by 50% but I left the luminous noise untouched. Color noise are those color blotches at high ISOs. Luminous noise are the grains. I want to keep the grains because reducing it will also remove details on the image which I want to keep. Check out Pic 12 where the ISO is at 9000! The Nikon Df is indeed the king of ISO!

* P/S: Now that the D4s is out, I will be watching its performance.

@ Zeckson - are there any focus hunting while using DF in not well lit places ?

Unfortunately it is a yes. Shooting at night do face some challenges on areas where there is not enough light. By not enough light, it means how the camera sees light and not our eyes. We may find it adequate but the camera may see otherwise. If your Nikon Df hunts pretty often at night, it is not a surprise at all. Nikon could not have possibly put in D4 AF into it and charge at such a lowered price (although it is still a damn expensive camera).
