Default Some Shots You Just Can't Pass Up

It was raining outside and I was sitting in my kitchen working on some menu settings on my camera when along came this girl. I had no light so I had to jack up my ISO to 6400. Plus I had to shoot through a glass door AND a screen of the patio. I also had to run it through Photoshop and do some work on it there. All considering, I am surprised at how well it did turn out.

Wow! Thats a lot of stuff to go through, and yet the picture does not give a hint of it. Great work, you deserve all the credit. I am glad I bought a D300 too, and maybe I can make such shots some day .
