Hi James,
Never realised the camera would create such a difference. Very interesting. Eventhough the flare around the lights is less, I think the colours of your D70 version are stronger.
Very difficult to really assess what's going on, I think there are a lot of factors involved.
Cheers,
Hugo

I like the other photo better because the image seems a lot sharper. As for the appearance of the lights, you might want to try using a star filter with that lens or try to exclude the closest light from the image. I assume you are using a tripod, which is a must for long exposures. I think this image would be neat using a 30 second exposure, streaking the lights of the automobiles, though that is just a personal preference.
Great composition and exposure on both. Late evening or early mornings are always some of the best times to shoot. Nice work,
.... Mike

James, here's a cool tip:
when you get a shot that feels overly warm to you, go to Photoshop's Hue & Saturation control. Note how it opens in Master (RGB) mode, but with the drop-down requestor at top, you can JUST select the Red. Now, turn red's saturation down a bit and go back to the Master slider for an overall adjustment.
it's fast and pretty effective much of the time.

James,
I'm with you. I think this is the better image of the two, with the exception that this one appears to suffer a bit from some lack of clarity, possibly caused by the overpass shaking while shooting? Clearly, the really bold rectangular light in the mid-ground is an unavoidable outcome of the necessary exposure time, but it can be toned down by masking out the rest of the image and either de-saturating this item, or using the shadows / highlights feature.
