Those pictures rock. All of them. They all show technical excellence and nice creativity. I'm sure others can offer suggestions, but I think they're great.

Photos 1-3 looks great. Not too thrilled about the 4th one. I'll leave comments. Keep on shooting :)

Very nice photos.

The green tint on the house shot has me intrigued. I've no idea whether this is a reflection, colored light source, or white balance thing, but I like whatever it is.

I also need to ask about this 6mm focal length that you're listing. It may just be a typo but I know they've also introduced some new features in the S2. 6mm just seems ridiculously short when SLR wide-angle lenses seem to bottom out at around 12-15mm. (Admittedly, I'm a newbie so if this is wrong, chalk it up to ignorance).

The green tint came from the lighting behind me. It was a street light that was shining through a really thick tree, which gave it a green tint. I changed the yellow channel hue to green and desaturated the green channel to give it the tent. I then up'ed the contrast to give it a high key kind of look.

You are right on the 6mm... my camera was at full zoom at 432 mm for the moon picture. The EXIF said different, but I know I was at full zoom and that is what the camera zooms. I should of put my teleconverter on but it was a spur of the moment thing.

Thanks for the comments!
