 A typical rural New Mexico scene.
Processing was to crop, Color Efex Pro old photograph filter with grain decreased, urban acid action then reduced the color curve to 60% opacity, added creamy border so the edges of the 'songs' overlay (which is in color burn mode) would show up nicely, then a layer of sheet music, and finally a hue/saturation adjustment layer affecting just the overlays to take some of the yellow out. You can find the 'songs' overlay on Playingwithbrushes Flickr site here.

Beautiful impressionistic effect. Very turn-of-the-century. The stylized text definitely adds something special to the overall composition.

You've got a whole book's worth of nifty faded Lensbabied shots - I think you should put one together. Seriously!

What a nice old windmill. I'm ready to sit on the porch, sip my lemonade and listen to the music.

OOOOOOOOH!!!! You nailed this one. The colors are perfect -- it's just like some of the old post cards I see at flea markets! Great subject matter, too. I love windmills, but unfortunately, we don't have many of them left around here.
