These are great, I really like the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. But my fave would have to be no 2.

You have so much patience to get these close ups with a P&S, when I had my little fuji I gave up, cos it took me about 5 mins to focus on anything.

I like the 2nd & 5th shots. The 2nd reminds me of a pastel or watercolor painting. The 5th is great for its sharpness, detail & overall texture. Really neat!

Like the first cone best, and well done for your efforts they are very good with a point and shot camera that can be very difficult to get the best from although most have the ability, getting the shot is a different matter.

I you, I or anyone put these into PS or Elements and gave a little tweak you would be surprised that your took them, I know I always am

Below I have just sorted the levels a bit, will remove immediately you ask should you wish me too. This is a very simple tweak and there would be more one could do to suit your own taste so once you have got the ability of the camera sorted you can start on a photographic amendment programmes.
