the second one looks cute... think better use tripod for 1/25 shutter speed. the last pic is a waste

Taken indoors at the Esplanade, u'll get this consistent reddish cast on all your photos... you might like to try different White Balance settings in future when u shoot in similar settings to see which one can get rid of the cast...

images are a little soft too. and try to PS away the reddish cast.
In addition, try to watch out for obstructions when shooting( the file in 4 )

yah.. the reddish cast is a bane of my aging camera. I can do a custom white balance setting, looks alright on the LCD but still turns out reddish after I press the shutter.

i waited a long time for no.4 to flip the folder. :P guess it wasn't a good idea

Learnt quite a bit from this shoot.

Here's the PS-ed number 4
