Your pictures need practise. There all out focus.

As they\'ve been taken with a camera-phone they at least show things - that sort of kit isn\'t really designed to do that sort of thing!

That\'s pretty good for a camera phone. Would like to see some regular camera pictures of the layout. Be sure to use a tripod and long depth of field setting. You have whet the appetite!
