I decided to resist the temptation to do a monochrome (which I love...) and try doing some aging and stressing to a color image.
In my fictitious history of this photo, it has been taken down from the wall upon which it was hanging and put in a drawer for many years. It was faded by the sunlight coming through a window prior to being scratched up by being shuffled around with other photos and "stuff" in the drawer.
I used Nik Color Efex for the basic conversion and then added a texture layer on top. I got the texture image courtesy of Matt Kloskowski over at lightroomkillertips.com.
