First, it's a lovely image, and am glad to have seen it.

My question though is about colors. In the D800 threads over the past month

i'm seeing a high percentage of images where to my eye, the colors look "animated"...for lack of a better word. Actually i can't quite put a finger on it...but combined w/ the extra resolution, they almost appear as Illustrations...and not Photos?

I'm not familiar w/ Nikon (have only shot Canon), i wondered at first if i was seeing aggressive d-lighting or in camera HDR, or perhaps something specific to NX software ...but you've mentioned using only Lightroom ...so that theory is out the window Are you using local adjustments (boat hulls for example?)

Any thoughts on this? Are you noting overall color differences with D800?

thanks very much,
David
