Perhaps one of the controls was inadvertently changed between shots. To check look at the EXIF data recorded with the image.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

I always go with less saturation and what looks as close to the eye in real. Your bottom one does that . I dislike the orange caused by low light shots.Some people like that though

Hehe!! I do! ;) Now, it would be MUCH easier to help if only we had the exif data!! What were ur settings on these shots Kim??

Interesting. Since the 2nd one is from a slightly different angle, I am wondering the AWB changed? Was there enough difference in overall color to cause the AWB to think the lighting was different? The EXIF would/might help.

I'm going with auto white balance settings. That seriously screws up your shots in these kinds of situations.
