Vintage inspired...

I'm not sure what it was about Miss C that inspired me to try this vintage processing of this portrait. I've done some vintage developing of my own images, but I often don't have the guts to show them to clients since I'm not sure what they'll think. Perhaps it was her grandparents' property with its barn and smokehouse, or her little shabby chic dress, or maybe even her vintage trike, but when I tried to process this image as a B&W and wasn't real thrilled with the results, I decided to try a little vintage and texturized work with it, and, for whatever reason, I think it fits really well. I hope her mom thinks so, too!
