@Rahul: No no....no heart shape - that would have been too cheesy! Haha! Nope, I did not do any PS on the photo. I used my wide angle lens and the flash was not powerful enough to cover the angle which resulted in the darkened corners. I liked the effect very much though!

@##AMIT##: Thanks Amit! I did not PS the photo though. It was just that my flash was not powerful enough for my wide angle lens.

what nice happy friends you have!
you must have had a great party!
good capture!
it's a good thing you didn't zoom in too close as it'll probably reveal how old they are! heh heh ;)

p/s sorry haven't been visiting your blog lately... been occupied with some matters to get ready to leave... missed quite a bit of your shots...

@kairospix: No no....nobody is suppose to know how old they are! Haha!
No problem Kairospix, just drop by when you are good and ready!

Cute...nice composition and great colors. I like that red behind them.

@Laurie: Yeah, I liked the red too! This place we went to had its walls covered with red velvet curtains - what a nice background for shots like this!

Hi Celia - thanks for your Father's Day wish. This shot is studio-like. Excellent post-processing! And great expressions captured here...

p.s. Wherever your dad is, know that he loves you very much! I know - I have a daughter, and there's something special about daughters B-). By the way, your dad's passed on a great gift of passion for photography to both you and your sis.

@{H} creatives: Thanks Henry! As I mentioned earlier, there was no post-processing involved. All to do with my wide angle lens and my camera's flash.
Thanks for your lovely comment about my dad's gift of photography to my sister and I. He really did love (and still do) photography and all three of us (sisters all) love it too :) My dad is back home while I am here. I miss him and my mum lots! You have a beautiful daughter - she is so adorable!!
