I was on a field trip to a couple art museums for my Photo 5-6 class at Balboa Park a few days ago. While there I saw this leaking fire hydrant and just had to capture it. I wanted to give it an aged look so I converted the image using a "virtual photographer" plugin for CS2.

    I like it. (It could only be better if it was leaking onto a dog :D ).

    VP is one of the better plug-ins I've run across. Quite a lot of power for free.
