Douglas, I tend to agree, although my experience with the D70 has been that the images shot in the shade are a little flat, some would call them dark or underexposed, I lile to suggest they lack a bit of contrast. It doesn't take much to punch them out a bit, all the info and detail is there, just not "fully awake", and Ron did say that these were straight from the camera. Back in the days before D-Lighting, it always suited me well since I rather liked to start with underexposed images to avoid the dreaded loss of detail in any blown highlights.
