A welcome present, a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

When a newly married couple steps in to the groom's house, they are warmly welcomed with
good wishes for a happy and prosperous tomorrow.

The earthen lamps and the insignia on the decorated plate (made of bamboo slices)
stands for good omen for future.

I took this image on my friend's
marriage ceremony.

Good afternoon,
Very informative and beautiful composition, I like a lot.
The positive points are colours and shapes. I would suggest a bit more contrast and at framing to have the whole tray from a point of view a little lower.
Anyway this is a true TE post.
Sincerely
Jean Michel
