This is one from our community Easter egg hunt (I have the wonderfully fun job of being the photographer at our community events.)
The image was converted to B&W, then I used a few different Shadowhouse textures and blurred slightly.
I wish this little angel would have looked up, but she was very very busy with her Easter candy :S3:

Beautiful composition and effect, Maureen. I like her expression and the moment you have captured here. excellent use of textures. Nicely done.

Maureen, very cute and a sweet moment captured. For an aged photo, I would probably lower the overall level of the image, as the whites are usually the first thing to suffer in the aging process. Nice job with the toning.

Maureen, I think the repost looks much better, The girl is a very sweet subject and her outfit makes this even more believable as an older image. Very nice work.:S3:

Maureen, definitely better! It helps convey the sense of age, which you already did quite well. Very sweet image that has a timeless feel.

Maureen, prefer the repost, looks wonderfully aged. A very cute little girl also I love the concentration on her face as she opens the Easter egg.

This looks beautiful, Maureen. Very believable aged look. :S3: I might prefer a little more room to the right so that her dress isn't cut off. Excellent work!
