I love the "tarnished" colors and the grain. Gives everything an old-fashioned feel.

Once again, terrific post processing. I love this style. I'm curious as to why you left the white strip on the left of the image. My first inclination would have been to crop that out (and I see several previous commenters felt the same) But I love creative cropping and compositions, and the rest of the image is processed with such care it that it leads me to believe that the white strip is left in for a purpose. When I try to cover up the white strip, it does seem to loose a bit. In any case, this is awesome work. :)

I think I like this version without the door better, although the door is certainly cool. The hole of black in the middle not only creates a sense of ominous mystery (where is she going? what's waiting for her inside?) but it also gives the picture better tonal balance. Anyways this is a stunningly skillful combination of elements. Very artistic. I love it and hope I can learn from it! :)
