Here is one I took this summer although to be honest I'm not very happy
with
it...

Blimey! I'd be over the moon to get something in focus. I always get the
wrong part of the shrub or tree in focus and lose the bit that's
particularly attractive or distinctive!
Thats might be because you have the camera set on auto focus. That's the
disadvantage of automatic point and shoot - they are apt to focus on the
wrong thing. Try it on manual and focus it yourself.
Having said that... my photo was taken on auto because I was in a hurry
(kids wanted to go to the beach). That's one reason it could be better. It's
not all in focus because the apature is wrong (gives the wrong depth of
field).
Er.....yes, okay. To be honest, I don't think our camera allows for any
manual fiddling about. It's either on, or it's off.
