Remembering...

A World War II veteran takes a stroll down memory lane.



If anyone's interested, I have a slightly bigger version of this pic, showing only the "photo" with no background.

Comment if you like.

I like it..great background as well as the "aged" typewriter'ed letter. the simple noise effect is also a great "realistic effect... though many of the pictures of that time frame had fringed (is that the word..? ) edges like half circles....as well as age tends to cause the edges to crumble and friay a bit..  from the acidtone in the paper and the chemicals used in the processing

Wowwwwww that shows hours of work...

Great edit! Especially the lighting is very good!  8)

Cheers for the comments, all.

I agree about the edges of the photo. After I'd uploaded it and really looked at it, I decided it would look better with some more frayed edges. I think I might give that a try. I'll post a new version if I come up with something good.

Thats the worst thing about photoshop and editing....

I am the same way...right after I post, I realize there was just one more thing I should have added....  :)

Indeed, I've come across that situation far too much. I sometimes find myself spending most of my editing time scrutinising my last edit and making sure there's nothing else I want to add.

Now that I'm already posting something, might as well post my revision:



It was a really quick fix, but I feel it greatly enhances the authenticity. Let me know what you think.

Very nice, looks great. I just wanna pick it up  :P

[BourneID]

I bow to your great photoshop skills

Great image, and the tathered effect... right on the mark..

[Sytse]

That's even better!
