White Balance

Two images of a candle shown side by side, left is colored normally, right has a prominent orange cast.
50mm, f4.0, ISO 800, 1/256

My goal with these photos was to use a different white balance setting to change the overall mood and tone of the photograph. In the photo on the left, I used auto white balance to show what the composition looked like in real life. On the right, after experimenting with different settings I changed the white balance to shade, which gave all the colors of the image a more orange cast. This makes it feel more warm and cozy, as opposed to the original which appears somewhat cold and uninviting.
