Thanks Tv. This was shot in RAW, it just that my PP skills need improving. It looked good on my desktop monitor... now looking at this on my laptop, all the artifacts are showing.

This is a good shot and quite a departure for you. To be able to capture both the faces and body language of dancers it almost a sublime accomplishment and extremely chancey. This has a good gritty indoor feel but there are some sharpening artifacts (see around the legs) that could be avoided with processing from RAW. My experience is that D700 jpgs are very limiting - highlights quickly burn out in particular. The camera defaults for jpgs are not well defined and I've given up on using jpgs except in rushed or ideal situations. -tv
