There's something about sepia

There's something about sepia that I find very appealing.  Unlike black and white, which I find sometimes very dull, sepia sets a certain mood to an image.  What I find works well with sepia is when applying it on older objects, like antiques, or using it to illustrate an old way of life.  Obviously, I try to be careful not to overuse sepia.

The image on the right (entitled "Antiques from 1800s") was taken at a Victorian style pioneer village in Ontario.  I thought the sepia gives it an "oldish" feel to the subjects, which was exactly what I wanted to convey.  (For a full version, please click here)
