Old indeed. Picture could have used a bit of a wider crop - the way it butts against the left side and is maybe even cut off a bit on the top makes it feel cramped. Sepia toning is a good idea but this seems a tad on the pinky side.

Good Ol' Dooley

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley?

I like the colors in this and the sky is impressive. The line of the headstone leads your eye into a bit of a dead end though, ending at the next headstone. Perhaps a more straight on shot would help this?

I wonder if a black and white might have done this subject more justice? In any case, the cast is a bit on the reddish side for a sepia.

Nice post-processing, that and the clock make it look like it definitely could have been take quite awhile ago. Without knowing what's down the street, it's hard to say, but perhaps a view looking more down the street would help separate the detail a bit?

Tu querido aparece un poco triste, no? Lovely lighting and colors and good job with the glasses.

I think the pose here is a good idea. I think I'd like the camera raised up a bit so that it's more level with her face and the whole thing seems a bit underexposed.

Rose, I think you are misunderstanding the difference between adjustment layers (the actual layers upon which you make the adjustments) and the blending modes (how the layers are applied to each other).

The available adjustment layers in PSP are brightness/contrast, channel mixer, color balance, curves, hue/saturation/lightness, invert, levels, posterize and threshold. Any of those may be used. However, once you have used those on a layer, that layer must be applied to your photo using a normal blending mode. In normal blend mode, pixels on the Blend layer are combined with pixels on the underlying layer, only varying by opacity (by moving the opacity slider.) In the Burn blend mode, the lightness values of the colors in the Blend layer modify the underlying layers, by making them darker. That gives a different effect than if you had blended them in a normal mode and is prohibited in basic editing.

Hopefully this clears things up a little.
