@MaryB: Thank you Mary, its just another way of experimenting. I used spot light on my camera software to get this effect and make the main subject stand out.

@Paquemas: Thank you Paquemas

@Hrg: Thank you Hrg. I think I did use the flash because it was getting dark at the time I took the photo. It's a new camera and wasn't sure on the settings and at times the flash did not go off.
