Last Friday my wife and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary at a local fondue restaurant called The Melting Pot. Our daughter is a waitress there and served us. Dinner was wonderful and was followed up with a Cookies and Creme chocolate fondue. Daughter added a little extra brandy to the mix and gave us a fire show. It made for some really delicious roasted marshmallows.

The lighting in the restaurant was extremely low with red overtones. Flash just didn't do the setting justice so I tried to get the shot the best I could. Very minimal processing was made to this one. Any suggestions for better camera settings in this environment is appreciated.

I do wish the marshmallow was more in the shot.

Congrats on the 21st. Besides having more marshmallow in shot, the only thing would be a bit more balance, it seems a bit heavy to the left side, if that makes sense. The red tones really work well here and you did well with the exposure.

The reds are cool. I kind of wish the marshmellow if not all the way in the shot, was a tad crisper. Still very well done.

I agree about the marshmallow - it looks interesting - kinda like lava :)

I think the settings worked well for this and the red overtones are perfect for the shot. Congratulations on your anniversary and how very delightful that your daughter got to be a special part of the occasion!

Looks like a fun evening. I guessed you were roasting marshmallows before I read the description.
