Thanks a lot for your thoughts.

ISO on all shots this afternoon was 100.

I tried lots of white balance, but the AWB worked the best in most instances, (with a bit of exposure compensation) The colors are the tiniest bit cool overall, but I could never get consistency when I tried to use the evaluative white balance feature. I don't think I know where to point the camera at the white card when I evaluate..

I used many flash settings, first shutter, second shutter, low, medium high; none were to my liking; no flash and long exposures were more satisfying to my eye, but I'm learning.
