Hi Jano,

I tried not to touch the colours on my pix after the comment I got on flowers from the mini challenge. Our monitors at work and home are calibrated for our press at work and that tends to make me pump up the colours a bit. But colour wise looking at it here at work Gherkin's pretty close, the curtains have a fair bit of sunlight hitting them and I popped him with the built in flash.

But yes he's soft, the S5 hunts around a lot on focus and these guys sit still about as much as kids on Alphabits.

I like the background in this shot - seems to have a little movement with the little guy making it blur a bit - have you tried a higher shutter? He is a bright green isn't he ? or is it a she? :) jano
