I really like the combination of the flower and the aged box. NICE!! And I love the bit of blur too! But I have to admit I'm with tph1 and would like to see more contrast; more specifically, more dark tones. In general the effect of the gradient filter is really nice, but if this were my image I would continue to process it with a levels layer to darken those dark tones. If you don't want more contrast, then either think of using this as a texture layer or cool background as KarenNfld suggested, or even add a layer on top of it to grunge it up a bit and add more interest as we do in this thread. Bottom line is I see a lot of good to work with here!

Looks like a photograph from the '40s, nice transformation! Although the woman is lovely so even your 'snapshot' is quite nice :-)

I feel like I am looking into a magic window that lets me look backward in time...if I get too close I might tumble through, so I back away. This is just great!

I think this is fantastic! I love the darkness of it, and it seems to be a chair on a grave, how curious and creepy :-) Love the border too!
