 I wanted to take the 'half the subject in frame' a little further.

Hopefully this photo conveys the story of a broken marriage, possibly a dinner together that never happened.

I actually ripped one of my wedding pictures to get this shot, so hopefully it does fairly well! My wife was ok with this, so this picture won't end up being a self-fufilling prophecy! :)

Editing was minimal:
Convert from RAW
Brightness/Contract
Colour Levels
Dodging on the photo
Burning on the reflections off of the glass and wine bottle
