Not getting photo I want

Maybe it is too early.  Maybe it is the lighting.  Maybe I am being overly picky.  Maybe it is none of the above.  I can not get a decent photo of the two skeins from yesterday. 

Here is what I have:

Top skein is as is off our machines.  Bottom skein washed / rinsed.  It goes a little boucle-y.  Doesn't help that my ability to twist a skein is not working well this morning either.  They do make an app for that!!

I have a couple of ideas and hopefully they will make and end product I like better.  The other thing I need to start doing is knitting some swatches and seeing what happens.
