Nice pictures. As a Mavica fan I must advise you, that you need to lighten the images a bit. I'm using about six different image editors, but the easiest and most straight forward is Lview, which has a macro edit function. I have one named "Mavica" which adds a little contrast and some brightness. (OK it's gamma correction, signH, log(something) and some other stuff, but we are talking human perception not computer do-dah)

The $200 token reminds me of the six hundred pound gorillia... Whatever it wants to be good for!
