    Hmmmm...I have to disagree with Awais! I love the background here. It tells a story in a very subtle way. Both are busy (the BG and the cake) but I think your way of toning it has helped somewhat to quiet the scene. It's different.......I like it for that reason even if it breaks some rules.

    That is primarily why I like this shot. The sepia keeps the tone almost like a memory while the whole picture captures the evening. There was dancing, eating, talking and good memories.

    Thanks for the comments :D:D

    Thanks for all the comments. I actually haven't touched the picture at all. I took this shot in sepia mode on my camera and haven't done any post processing. That's how it came out of the camera.

    Thanks for the C&C
