I like this one because it captured the real color of the tape, unlike the other ones. It also made the shadow on the wall behind it very nice. It has the right brightness, and some of the other ones look way too yellow looking. This one is more neutral.

This was my favorite picture. It's actually remarkably similar to the flash one. I really like the shade on the columns and the green in the bushes. I also like the blue door at the end. I think this picture is much more accurate in the lighting than the WB Auto. The light was too dull in that one.

This is definitely the most accurate picture. In this one, the auto setting was way off. The one for a cloudy day was way closer. I like that the colors look really balanced in this picture, which is what felt kind of off on the other settings.

White Balance: Shade on a Sunny Day

Photo 1: White Balance Auto
This is the most accurate picture out of the six. I think the Auto was very accurate with the shades and the colors. The one for a cloudy day is close, but this one is clearer. I don't have a shade setting on my camera, so this was the most accurate. I like how it looks under flash as well, but it's not really accurate.

I think this picture is the best one for this scene. It has the setting for a sunny day and it was taken on a sunny day, so I guess it makes sense that it's the best one. The auto one isn't bad, but I like this one more because the colors seem warmer, and the red looks brighter. The shadow also looks more contrasted with the concrete in this picture.
