I think you you did a great job.
It looks good. Old B/W phot`s are realy something.
To recreate that scene is fab.

Great but,
My suggestion is if the rope arround the picture was not in color but black and white it should be better.
As a second tought if the picture and the rope would be in sepia, that would remaind me of the pictures I saw at my late grandfathers home, telling his life years ago.
Just my opinion.

Nice work Shamus! It looks like you found that picture in the Badger Creek archives! Cool effect!

Excellent picture and also beautiful arrangement with the rope. I like it!
B&W pics are one thing, but changing this into a sepia print gives it the real touch of an old photograph, say, from the beginning 20th century.
I used to tone b&w photographs to a sepia color in the darkroom by treating them with some chemicals. Today it is of course much more comfortable with a computer - and it stinks a lot less!
Just got such a pic down from the wall and scanned it in. Only now I detected that it aged even more, aquiring a blue-greyish hue in some parts. Now it look REALLY old. (BTW, I made it in 1978.)

This is the archbar truck of a D&RGW boxcar, standing on a disply track beside the Gunnison CO depot in 1977 - together with C-16 #278 and a Caboose. (Note that there is no fishplate between the rails, which aren't nailed to the ties, either! Sloppy trackwork, even on a display track, I'd say!

That's top notch Shamus, you captured the whole atmosphere of old time logging. It's something to drool over! ... (drooling here

Well, this city-slicker has finally wandered into the logging domain and I'm glad I did. That's a really neat treatment Shamus! A nice mix of old-fashioned and new-fangled tech! Isn't Photoshop fun?
cheers
