I took the picture in color and took the color out in psp 8, added a yellow tint to it to give it that old feel. I then added a soft focus to it. Oh ya the frame was a added from psp8 in the picture frame section.

Beautiful handling of the image. And the image itself is really nice. Good subject, great composition. I'm not sure I like the feel of the house tiling backward, but I can live with it.
Normally I can't stand these borders, but it is appropriate here and works well. Very nice sepia toning, a little different to the usual kind but very effective. Lovely textures, the tree is particularly nice. The tyres are a nice touch. Great composition. Gorgeous lighting and exposure. 8
This is really a neat shot. Not sure how you did it legally but I'm always surprised by the creative ways people manage to do things. Photo of a photo maybe?
