I shot these for my wife. She will be putting them on her website soon and was wondering if anyone could give me pointer's on what's good or bad about these images? What I'm finding hard to do right now is get a good white balance.

I think they look lovely and would be perfect for her website/etsy. As for white balance, can't you do custom white balance in camera? Photograph a white sheet of paper and set your custom white balance? That's usually what I do. I don't know if that's the "proper" way to do it but it works for me.

They look good. The only issue is maybe some blown white in the front of the table. I know you're working with just a flash so that may be the issue. Most of those really good ad shots are done with softboxes and all kinds of cool lights.

ROFL! You changed it before I could quote you. They're all different colors because they are all different scents.

Actually no flash involved. I used my homemade (cheap) lightbox with 2 full spectrum bulbs.
