Should have been wearing my glasses when I read your previous comment lol.
If upward trunks do mean good luck I think I'd better buy a few more with their
trunks up just to make sure!

Upward TRUNKS, Dale, Not TUSKS mean good luck. All elephant tusks are up.
I think walrus tusks are down.

I don't know what caused the different color tones but there was
a television on and a light on in a different room. The room I took
the picture in was much darker than the image shows @ 6400 ISO.
When I get a chance I will take some high ISO city shots but right now
the weather is bad here so I haven't been out much taking pictures.

The original picture (pre-resizing} did look a little cleaner than this.
The room was much darker than shown here @ ISO 6400. All in
camera high noise reduction turned off (I never use it} was off and
the ONLY adjustment I made was to straighten the image a little.
The nice tree is my wife's fault - I would have hung a pine scented tree shaped
air freshener from one of the elephants tusks and called it done lol!
I would have taken the same shot with my Canon xsi but it only goes to ISO 1600.
So thats why my luck changes so often - sometimes one of the tusks on the big one
flops down! Have a great 2013...Dale

Although with this subject matter and the resizing, it is difficult to detect the amount of noise.
Nice tree. Trunks up means good luck, but I'm sure you know that.

This was taken in quite a dark room @ ISO 6400
35mm @ f1.8 and 1/60th second.
No post processing done.
It should show you that a DX camera @ ISO 6400
gives a less than pleasing result but could be used
in an emergency just to get the picture.
At this ISO I would definitely go to a Nikon FX body with
it's larger sensor producing a cleaner image.
For ISO up to 1600 or so the D7000 produces really nice
and useable images.
