 My son, as he's leaving for the Texas OU football game this weekend. I like the retro feel, despite the modern car and shoes. He's giving the "hook 'em horns" sign, as the Texas mascot is the longhorn. Somebody told us NOT to use that gesture in Europe. LOL

I desaturated, did some dodge on his face, and applied a grunge texture frame.

This does have a retro feel to it. I will have to keep this grunge texture frame in mind for future use.

Cool effect with the overlay. Minus the car, it looks like it's from the early '60s. By the way, I clicked on Jeremy's video on your profile page. This boy has some SWEET voice. He must have a lineup of girls after him. :)

Nice, Judy -- at first glance it really looks like an old photo. This is a photo he'll love when he's older! :-)

If the car were older and he were dressed in period clothing this would look so realistic. He looks so relaxed; somehow I get the feeling he poses for a lot of pictures.

Yes, total retro feel, juxtaposed with the modern car. Really cool.

Go Red! (Is that right? Or is that A&M?) Nice texture with the oak or maple in the background.
