Nice job. One recommendation. Set the EV down a little (-1, for example). Some of the exposure is a little "blown," so decrease the exposure compensation will help get some back of the highlight detail.

Hey, thanks guys. I am going to mess around with it some more in the next couple of days.

Len, what is the EV? I am sure I have that option, I will have to look. I have all kinds of cool stuff on this camera.

EV = Exposure Value (or sometimes called exposure compensation. Try beefing up the contrast a bit, too. I kind of like a high exposure, high contrast kind of look.
