Hi, I am a fairly new gardener trying to learn as much as i can. I have several tomato plants of different verities that seem to be doing well except on the only cherry tomato plant, the leaves are starting to get a metallic sheen on them almost like sun damage but more metallic. does anyone know what this might be? nutrient deficiency?

Looks like an iron deficiency to me, but probably just caused by over watering. You can get away with watering only once or twice a week this time of year and when it rains like it has you don't need to water at all. However, to keep the soil more uniformly moist I'd recommend mulching around your plants a couple of inches deep. Your soil surface looks fairly bare.
