Dear Madhuri,

I wish if the last picture is focused properly. 

I have a suggestion in this regard. 

Keep your palm just below the plant/objrct while focusing. Remove the palm after the object is focused but don't remove the focus button once the object is focused, straightaway click after removing your palm. 

You get a focused picture. 

When you shoot a single object when there are lots of other space in the frame the auto focus in the camera tend to focus the vast area in the frame other than the small object, unless you proffered for single point (center) focus. But unfortunately this wont work in auto mode of most of the compact and point ant shoot cameras. You have to use manual/shutter/aperture mode to prefer focus point. 

If you always use auto mode then you try practice the aforementioned method it works.

Few suggestions for consideration for the plant in the picture Chamaesyce thymifolia, C. hypericifolia and Euphorbia prostrata.

Further, I think you forgot to reduce the file size.

Regards,

Giby

Giby ji,

First of all my sincere apologies to forget to resize the images.

Thank you for your kind guidance to capture better focused images.
Actually so far I have been using my N95 cell phone which has a 5 megapixel camera to capture images. In the past I have managed to get excellent videos for our hospital and clinic staff training from this camera. But as you have pointed out I am not able to get good photos and sometimes out of focus pictures of plants. Today I have used a better camera to capture images of the same plant and got some better images. Attaching the pictures of the same

Looking at these pictures does it favor the plant being Chamaesyce thymifolia as suggested by you. Also the plant was not completely prostrate .

Thank you for guidance once again

I can't believe that you were/are using a mobile camera to capture these pictures. 

I was thinking of a compact digital camera. 

It is a great effort and thanks goes to N95 as well for showing us such wonderful pictures. 

Your pictures were clearly showing characters of plants.  

Now, I think Chamaesyce thymifolia is a possible id. 

I think Dinesh ji would validate the id. 

Thanks and Regards

Giby

Giby ji ... I think Bhagyashri ji's plant looks more like Euphorbia prostrata (syn. Chamaesyce prostrata), based on appearance of the fruits.

Gurcharan ji and others may please validate.
