On my way home from a rock concert.(Yes i can still rock),I pass this sculpture called,The Angel of the north.The sun was dropping below the horizon so i thought I'd take out my new D90 and test it for low light shots..So here it is..R. Shot at ISO 2000 Because i wanted to see what i could get away with before noise crept in..

This is a really cool shot Richie. In the dark the angel allmost looks like it was done by a native American. I know it probrably wasnt though. The sunset colors are great. I think your new camera did a bang up job in low light.

I think your camera did a great job on its first test run Count B. Love the silhouette.

Every time I see this sculpture I think of Billy Connoly who featured it in one of his TV programs - and then I have to laugh :)

Knowing the width of this angel's wingspan I think you did a terrific job in capturing it and the sky is a perfect backdrop.
It deserves a much higher score than 58.
