no problem haoz..... as I'd said, I don't like to take pictures
in Singapore.
and as I'd said, they are snap shots. I am not trying to boast
anything. Like most of the posts in this forum, the photos are
really nothing to boast about.
I have already declared that I am just a snap-shooter. So I think
that your comment on "nothing to boast about" may be a little
unnecessary. 
the flowers and butterflies.... yup just macro mode. not trying to
make any point. Realistic thing about this genre is: most of these
shots are just macro shots anyway. At best, it's a show case of
nature's color, at worst, it is a boast of one's equipment
superiority. 
jellyfish... you got to try it sometime. BTW, the underwater world
is a great place for shots... assuming you'd want to part with some
money for the entrance fee.
cityscape... yup and pns camera, with a decent manual control can
do these shots. those from the restaurant, they were just normal
programmed shots. but my point is, these are nice places to shot,
assuming you want to spring some bucks on the meal too. 
cropping....since my camera has a relatively high megapixel count,
I normally do it after the shot. I have already said that that they
are unedited, unretouched and uncropped.
merlion... i have plenty of portrait shots, all taken on the same
day.... didn't like it. 
at the end of the day.... none of us are really exhibition level
photographers, with the exception of pointblue, and possibly
joho... (not sure who are the other serious photographers
here).
having said that, I am not going to call you names just because you
made some negative comments about my shots.
therefore, if I have offended you with the low quality of my
photos, I apologise. Looking forward to see more of your
work.
cheers.
