A Few Shots From My P&S - Critique Welcome

These are just a few shots that I'm particular proud or fond of taken with my Casio Exilim ZR10.

First impressions: generally, the colour looks okay, just some issues with focus that you might want to review for the next time.

#1. Not too bad, a little bit of "out of focus" on the right side - image is a bit fuzzy and that "flash" of bright light on the right is very distracting.

#2. Nice image of raindrops on grass but very little of the image is in sharp focus.

#3. Similar to #2, the bottom part and the right side of the image are not in focus.

Cheers,

@WesternGuy ;

Thanks for the tips! And aye, that's the greatest drawback of Point and Shoot cameras, this one in particular, since not all of them are this way; not enough focus manipulation! There's a Manual Focus mode on my camera, but it leaves quite a bit to be desired. Just isn't comfortable to use in the slightest.

The unattractive, shining blob on #2 is the exceedingly bright reflection of the sun on a pond. Though, in a way, I sort of felt that the sort of selective focus going on in #3 added some interest to the more well-defined droplets on the leaf.
