Gosh a lovely picture. The black background indeed works very well against the vibrant yellow and green. I also like how the stems fade into shadow at the bottom. Very nice.

On the firmware front, if you hold down the menu button as you turn the camera on it will state what firmware version is loaded. Not sure how you check the number of actuations.

Second that - whenever I have had such issues they have been resolved with a wipe of all the contacts...

A great set of pictures there Piotro. The Otter is fantastically cute and I really like the first lion shot (number seven) - very sharp and a handsome animal. I have a soft spot for Ducks so like shot number three - they look like they are Indian Runner Ducks:

I have to agree with Kris; "no more grass 2" is a very good shot, and think both "caged" shots are good too - in fact they are all well observed and executed to my mind. Good work.

I really like the Octo-zebra! and also the Otters - I always find them difficult to resist. Monkeys 1 works better for me than Monkeys 2 - in fact I like it very much although I might crop a little off the left. Nice set!

A couple more sweet shots! I really like the first (of the second post) - the pose/position of the Goose is great!

Some very nice sharp shots there, Algi; and I particularly like the Greylag Geese. Don't see so many of them round here... Canadians and Egyptians seem to rule the roost. Impressive performance from the lens too. Were they all at the 300mm end?

I like this very much. sharp image and the light on the Elk is great.

The deer here in the UK are in 'full antler' mode, just about, so I guess it must be their rut in a month or two; normally a good photo op (if you can avoid getting all the other photographers in the frame...)
