    Well that would depend on just how old you want them to look. One looks like faded old color and the other like sepia toned B&W.

    I like the second... it catches my eye more than the first. that's just me though.

    Extraordinary photos can not be had standing where everyone else is standing, looking where everyone else is looking

    So, do you think I've been successful in creating TWO good aged photos, just from different eras?

    Thanks. My favourite is the first, in fact, but that maybe because it reminds me of photos of me as a kid.

    I think the second photo says "old photo" more than the first one. The first one might give more of an aged look if it were converted to monochome.

    I like first,but I don't like the highlight on the second. It just doesn't look real :(
