This is just about the right amount of sepia. Sepia, when done properly, should tone the highlights first, and the blacks should be left mostly unchanged. Unfortunately, most people (digital camera makers included) seem to think that the pronounced yellow we see in crappy "old west" photos is what sepia looks like. Very nicely done. I wouldn't change a thing.
