Yeah, tell me about it. Thats the same upgrade I made, and I don't regret it for a second.

As far as the pic is concerned, I would personally have cropped off the upper 1/8 of the shot to get rid of that gray/brown area. To me its distracting. That's just me, of course...... Other than that its a neat shot.

Nope. Not with the Body. The only issues I have had with softenss have been with the lens. With the three lenses I use frequently, 50mm 1.8, 135mm 2.8 and 180mm 2.8 if I do my job the pictures are razor sharp. with my lesser qulity lenses like the 35-70mm 3.5 and the 28mm 2.8 (Rokinon) the images can be a little onthe soft side.

That being said, there was a significant stretch of time when I thought there was an issue with softness with the D7000. Then I discovered a tripod, correct focus and correct shutter speed and that went away.

Agree with the crop suggestion from Strad. Cool shot nonetheless.
