Not bad at all. What lighting are you using, a flash? I find natural lighting gives a more... well natural... look and fewer shadows. I'd say a touch overexposed and some weird lighting effect above the soap tub - northern lights?
Keep it up.

The light in my bathroom is terrible. For some reason my camera, which can usually "auto WB" most situations accurately, really struggles in there. I think it's a combination of an odd bulb, reflected light from all the white tiles and natural light from the window that really throws it. They're only snapshots so I CBA taking a "control" shot of white paper first, and I keep meaning to change the bulb to a daylight one but haven't got around to it yet. But I must.

I reckon most people never change from auto-WB on their camera and this leads to some weird colours for indoor (and outdoor) shots. Are there other WB settings you can use without having to resort to manual-WB with a white card which is a bit of a faff? I've tried changing the WB to "cloudy", "tungsten", "incandescent" and quite often fixes it quickly. It's one of those settings that is quite often available on cameras but is rarely used.

I don't think any of the preset WB modes would be any better to be honest. There's just too much of a mix of different light temperatures. I'll get a daylight bulb this weekend and get rid of the jaundiced bulb that's currently in there. That should make a difference.
