Well, you have really upped the ante with these shots. 
I don't know how much is due to the OM5D, but these photos have 
characteristics that I have not seen before, as far as i can remember.

Not only sharp and with nicely out-of-focus background, but something 
about the colours, and not one blown-out part that I recall. The colours seem 
to be very accurate. Yes, I realise that a lot is to do with technique, and 
light 
direction.  Great shots.

And I still do not like sites that use 'flash' technology, when html works just 
fine and is faster.
