Thanks Dirk.

Thank you for your comments. About darkness... the problem may lie in my monitor settings. I bought recently a new LCD display which is too bright in my opinion. To compensate this I perhaps slightly tend to underexpose my photos (I do use camera?s histogram also) plus sometimes darken highlights more in Photoshop. The result may look dark on those monitors that are correctly set.
But - on the other hand - my personal preferences are also towards slightly darker photos and in my opinion both my old C-5060WZ and my new E330 tend to overexpose and I set the exposure almost always to -0,3 or -0,7. I have read some discussion about this "problem" on German website www.oly-e.de not so long ago.
Regards, Pekka.

It's funny - looking at your exiting photos I thought the same (oposite) about my monitor - and I have to admit I have to learn to be more decent by using less saturation and contrast .... I enjoy your work !
