Brian, I'm sure you mean to be helpful and yet I can derive nothing as
to what you are actually seeing from your statement. (I am glad you
enjoyed some of the photos though.) If you'd care to explain what you
mean by an "unusual consistency," I'd be interested.

As the camera was pointed, there was probably more risk of
underexposure than over. I also tend to shoot normally with at least
-.3 exposure comp and chimp for blown highlights. I think I only took
one exposure, so I don't believe it was a difficult exposure in any
special way.

No images were that large. I did have a couple that were too small
though (about 75K). In Jalbum, I set it to 100% jpg but didn't ask it
to link to the actual files. I've redone the gallery linking to the
originals FWIW, but I think there is no difference.
I did little sharpening on these photos and don't feel like the 410
warrants much additional, but I'll take a look again at the rose. The
photo seems like a bit of a near miss to me. I made several attempts
at a composition and liked this best, but in the end I just don't like
it all that much.

Thanks for looking and commenting!
