I've noticed unusual flare or internal reflections in some of my OM-D photos - has anyone else had the same experience?

Finally got around to buying an OM-D - so far very impressed. Now to sort out best workflow using Lightroom 3 and RAW - although this jpeg SOOC is pretty good.
Any workflow suggestions gratefully accepted

Were you one of the eligible participants that walked in +The Google + One Year Anniversary Photowalk and are excited to find out if you won anything?
Me too!!

The wonderful judges +Alan Shapiro & +Brian Matiash have finished their judging and made time in their busy schedules for the Live Hangout to announce the winners. They are the only ones that know them at this point and will reveal them to everyone at that time.

All of the eligible participants that walked in the G+ Anniversary walk were assigned numbers and entered into a database. I then used Random.org to choose the winners for the random prizes that will be announced at that time also.

I don't think my Olympus E-PL2 will be replaced by the Canon mirrorless any time soon - is it just me or has Canon lost it's way compared to Nikon, Olympus etc

Kirk Tuck sums it up the merits of the Canon EOS M very eloquently
