Mistake that I "fixed"

[n_mazur]

I forgot to put up the flash, forgot that I had the ISO set to 3200, forgot that I had the white balance set to "flash" (although if I had remembered that, I probably would have had the flash up. I did some post processing to change it to sepia, accentuated the noise a little, and adjusted the EV and contrast a bit. I also like how the main subjects are the blurriest people in the image. I think it works well to convey the movement of them. Let me know what you guys think. New here and new to dslr photography so I need ANY help I can get.

Its a tad grainy, and I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at. The top of the picture should probably be aligned horizontally (though you might not beable to because the man's head might get cropped out :/... yeah but the main thing is im not sure how to feel about this picture. the sepia kinda give it a sad feeling. but it seems like the event might be a happy one. I'm very confused on the message portrayed. maybe try using a slight blur (theres lots of noise in the higher quality version) make this more of a dreamy effect and maybe lighten up the photo a tad.

Hey Nick:

I feel your pain about forgetting to check your settings. But since the lady to the left is more clear than the dancers, that is where my eye is going and I don't get the feeling that you are trying to convey.
