This type of sepia rendition is tasteful when it contributes to the story telling.
It helps to situate in time (old style) or enhance a given character to the scene.
Here, the story telling is not more than a souvenir snap shot of the event for you
as it is not showing, describing the birthday celebration to the viewer.
Some people eating at a table is not enough as story telling:
• who is you friend?
• who's birthday is it?
• how do these people relate to the event?
A picture is a thousand words they say… this take does not tell the whole story!
