Vintage

Our theme for Photo Art Friday this week is to edit an image for a vintage piece of art look.  Maybe not a piece of art but surely it is vintage looking.  Reminds me of something out of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".  Actually it's a building in "Oldtown" San Diego.  The original first......
After cropping to get rid of the structure in the foreground and cloning out the shadow, I desaturated it a bit and added Bonnie's "age it" texture.  I removed some of the texture on the building.  I simplified and  duplicated that layer using a  soft light blend.  I then added a Nelly Nero action called "antique overlay" and the text.  Lastly I added the photo corner frame from PicMonkey.
I'm happy with the results and maybe it does look like a piece of art.
