I converted the image to b&w, added black border, ragged edge effect (from online tutorial), then added sepia tint..I used ocean ripple filter on letters to give it old worn feeling...Thanks

that is fantastic work, paul. color looks great and i'm loving the bg and border.
Paul, Nice work giving this image some age. I like the Italian words;)w/ the treatment. The color tones in the BG and the worn look are very well done.
Paul, I love the bg - it has a really old look to it. And the Italian name adds a nice touch.

Ocean ripple on the letters??? You are so imaginative! I think this is one of the best toned images we've had on OOTB - I can almost see an old italian postmark in the corner as if it were a stamp. Just lovely! I especially love how you can tell the direction the light was coming at the bird even with all your changes. Good stuff!!!
Excellent composition, Paul. All the elements have come together well. Love the effect and tone.
Very successful aging work, Paul. I love it! :) Very clever idea applying ocean ripple filter to the letters.
