Worm's-eye view from floor level, the lens a few centimetres above the ground and tilted up, of a 46-year-old birthday man and two friends leaning in to watch. The birthday man is gasping in surprise, the eyebrows shot up and the mouth wide open, blowing out candles on a cake. He is of Central American descent with light olive skin, a slender build, an oval face, green eyes, thin fine eyebrows, soft springy coils, a smooth shaved head with silver-grey hair tucked under a knitted beanie, and a few days of stubble. He wears a long camel cardigan over a white top. Friend one is a 21-year-old man mid-yawn, the eyes watering and one hand at the mouth, of South American descent with warm caramel-brown skin, a round face with full cheeks, warm brown eyes, soft rounded eyebrows, a thin silver nose ring, defined S-shaped waves in a buzz cut with jet-black hair, and a thick moustache. He wears an oversized grey hoodie. Friend two is a 25-year-old man staring jaw-dropped with huge round eyes, of Southern European descent with warm golden-tan skin, a square face with a strong jaw, dark brown eyes, bushy eyebrows, a beauty mark above the lip, straight hair with a slight bend at the ends in chin-length auburn hair combed into a sharp side part, and a goatee. He wears a loose white linen shirt. The smoke from the extinguished wick curls upward. The cake is a simple chocolate sponge with white icing. A party hat is tilted askew on one of the friends. Tilt-shift lens with a narrow sharp band across the frame and softly blurred top and bottom. Flat greenish light from a ceiling fluorescent tube. The main figure filling the frame edge to edge, the background crowded out. Shot on a tilt-shift lens, showing a narrow band of sharp focus with strong perspective distortion and a greenish color cast.
