First image was auto for all settings, except I used macro for scenes.
Second image was auto except for macro scenes and ISO 100.
The focus doesn't actually adjust to macro focus unless you set the focus to macro as well. I woulda have though that setting the scene to macro would have been enough. Just an fyi. Nice pics
Here's what kind of pictures one guy takes with his Lumia 800.

His flickr page with hundreds of photographs: Flickr: True UltRaNOL's Photostream
Check it out, I can't believe they are made with a phone! And no, they are not the lame hipstamatic/instagram/vintage/oversaturated type of "impressive phone pictures" that someone has been making with an iPhone a couple of years back to show how great pictures it takes. These are on a whole other level. The flickr is full of pictures that are unbelieavable, like the ferris wheel for example.
Just for your info with software editing like photoshop, lightroom and etc anything is possible if you read his EXIF most are edited by lightroom
Software Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.0 (Windows)

So if you are impressed by editing means you are impressed by lies. You do not need a Nokia Lumia 800 to do that. With iphone tiny sensor its sufficient to get even more amazing results just by applying photo editing skills.
This image is taken by my Nokia Lumia 800 without Photoshop without lightroom without any editing app only the stock camera app.

Beautiful photo! She has stunning eyes.
Was this taken with the default settings? I appreciate your response.
yes taken by auto but scene mode macro thats all.
If the photos requires editing you dont need a carl zeiss optics. You just need to master photo editing skills.

If you notice in the EXIF there is no any photoshop or any kind of editing software name.
I'm just curious what kind of camera you use when you use a camera, not a phone.
You obviously have photography skills.
If a person knows the proper photography techniques, he or she can usually get a decent shot no matter what equipment he/she uses.
Digital is actually rather new to me. I have extensive experience with an old-school 35mm Canon F1 and various lenses (all straight--none zoom). My portrait lens of choice is a Canon FD 85mm f/1.2.
Canon 60D + Canon 24-70 F2.8L + 50mm 1.4 Sigma + 85mm 1.8
