No, Cindy, the camera is ok.

You are getting glare. It looks like you did it outside or in natural light, because there is a light bluish cast at the top.

I have recently had a shake up in confidence so I don't feel qualified right now to tell you what to do, but diffuse and indirect are usually the best. The balanced twin lamps with color adjustment are wonderful but not easy to achieve. My first suggestion would be to try to tilt them away from the light source so there is less of that subtle reflection.

It is possible to get really decent snaps from a marginal camera for posting, but now is the time to begin getting your slides ready. That is the real camera stuff. I am amazed how important that is becoming to me.

Oh and they look really really good up close! Elegant solution to your pillows and wall.
