I love your treatment to this photograph.
The tone, together with the borders, it gives me a 19-th century photography feel which i had tried to emulate without success.

Nice work! Hope to see more square formats from you!

Hello leews, I'm glad you like my image. My background is from analogue photography and I prefer that rough, grainy surface in my images. I try to emulate that 'filmy' feeling in my digital works.

I agree with Lee! Very nice B&W paper print-like conversion! Any chance know more about techniques you used here? Thanks for sharing your pic!

Hello odklizec, my technique is generally called 'grunge'. You could ask google and you will find plenty of ways of doing this. Try http://www.bittbox.com/photoshop/reverse-grunge-easy-texture-technique-in-photoshop-and-others/. Very interresting!
