Hi, I have been to London farm and canary wharf recently and I took quite a few pics of my 3 year old lovely daughter. I have a very little idea of controlling white balance. I tried to put different settings of white balance on that particular day.
Please do advice on my pictures about the exposure and white balance. It will help me improve.
I am using my Nikon D5000 with 18-55mm 3.5 - 5.6 lens.

Here is the first one:

Here is the second:
It has some Lightroom editing on the corners.

and the last:

any c & c welcome, but consider me as a learner please.

Thanks
 
Think you would get more / better response in People and Portraits ......
WB is maybe a tad warm ... looking at these on uncalibrated monitor so maybe wrong ...... second shot is really nice, good eye contact, unforced expression, well exposed .... would loose the vignette though its a bit OTT .... lovely set for the family album :thumbs:

Thanks Dave,

I was really wondering why I was not getting any feedback.

Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it.

Hi Muhammad, the first one has a very warm tone, too warm for my taste. One trick with white balance is to use live view on your camera and scroll through the different options while watching the screen, when you see one you like/ closest to what you see just choose that one.
If you have photoshop try using levels and using the little eyedropper (middle one) on the levels palette click on the white part of the toy dog, I took the liberty of trying it and it made a big difference.

Very nice set of photos of your daughter. I'm certain she'll be proud of those as she grows up. As others have said, you can do some post processing and change the white balance a bit to mute the yellows and stregthen the blues a bit to get back closer to "real life."
