Still having light box issues.

[Valvaren]

So I tried taking some more shots today, increased the white balance to fit better with the lights I have since I couldn't get new ones today due to stores being closed. I also forget about checking my aperture so they still aren't the best. I'm just wondering if I made an improvement for better or worse and how I can improve my PP skills as they look off to me but i'm not sure if that is just due to my lighting or something else.

Anyway please feel free to tear apart

Did changing the white balance make a good improvement, I'm still going to get the better light, most likely tomorrow after work I will drop by and pick up some high wattage bulbs with a good CRT. I'm also looking into two lens and that Raynox 250 to get in the upcoming months, first a Nikon AF-S DX 55-300mm VRII 4.5-5.6G ED, I would like something with a bit of distance on it and I really like the fact is has VR, the other lens I was looking at is a Tamron 90mm F2.8 DI Nikon Macro II(Motor. Opinions?
