Which photo do you prefer?

I'm trying to become a better photographer. The photo on the top shows a photo of Connor's toys taken with the flash on. Notice the dark shadow. I don't know why I get that shadow alot but I think it has something to do with not having one of those field flashes on my camera. I just have the little pop up flash that comes with the camera. The photo on the bottom is taken with the flash off with an f/stop as big as I could go which is f/3.5, if I remember correctly. I like the photo on the bottom but it looks like it has a yellow tint to it. What do you think?

You're Invited!!

Hi friends and family!
I'd like to invite y'all to a crop at my house on Saturday, October 21st from5-9:00 p.m. (give or take an hour or so!).
We'll have so much fun visiting and learning from each other. I have 3 diecut systems: Cricut, Sizzix and Quickutz. I'll teach you how to use these great tools to enhance your layouts. I can also teach newbies techniques such as stamping, embossing, hand stitching, card making or anything else you want to know.

What to bring:
Pictures (of course)
Adhesive
Personal Trimmers
Anything else your little heart desires
A finger food/snack

We'll have challenges and contests!
I have seating for 14 people in my dining room, sun room and bar.
So let meknow if you'd like to come.Also, let me know what you'd like me teach.
As Kristi suggested, we can take turns at each other's homes and each month I can teach y'all a new technique.
So let me know if you'd like to join in the fun or need directions to my house!
