Was hoping somebody might be able to help with this image. It was a table set up at a wedding that had the pictures of family members that had passed. The composition didn't exactly work the way I thought it would, but I wanted to attempt a salvage anyways.

Definitely open to seeing others take a stab at the edit.

Would somebody have objected if you rearranged the pictures so that none of them were cut off and got rid of the bag and gift-wrapped box in the background temporarily? A direct on shot, rather than from the side, would show the individuals better. Don't be afraid to lower yourself to the level of the table.

Then you can worry about sepia-toning it.

^^^ Much agreed on the shot height and rearrangement, although, since I wasn't the hired photog, I don't think it would have been appropriate to ask. I did take a direct shot, but tossed it immediately because I couldn't get enough DOF with the lighting (wanted to avoid flash in lieu of candlelight). As I opened the aperture with the direct shot, all the attention went to the circular picture frame/pic.

Overall, I know I blew the shot. Just looking for some way to make the best of it.

Not much to work with but this is what I'd do with it.
