Steamy (at the dry-cleaners)

I was going for an old, worn look here.
What do you guys think? Better PP, I'm sure.

Please. Feel free to tear me apart guys...
I need feedback. This was a last effort on a very busy sked.

It does look old, you got it.
However, to me the hand and the bags below are pure distractions. Steam would be, like, #10th thing on my mind when I look at this picture.

Possibly... Clone out the arm, crop out the bottom, apply some curves to make sure the steam is pronounced...

Good luck!

I'm working on the cloning bit. Not really digging it so far. I kind of liked the hand in the photo. I'm trying a different edge here. What about this one?

Sorry, this one does not bring it at all.
It's soft, it's noisy, it's not telling any story.. There is something steam-like on the background, but that's about it...

Hey, maybe it's time to try some chilled ?

Hahahaha! I need to get liquiored up. I shall get dressed and take out my camera. It being Texas, I wasn't feeling the chilled mood but between tonight and St. Pats, chilled may give way to better. I'm just bummed that I got a chance to be at a cleaners for five minutes and failed miserably while trying to get fast shots. Maybe the 50 prime wasn't a good idea.
