Project Save a Picture

So I stumbled upon a fabulous picture on Yay, which said: Take an ordinary photograph, apply a vintage effect and write something in Helvetica (click to see it)- or something to that extent. True. Very, very true. The effect, if used cleverly can be superb. So I fished around for some very meh pictures in my folders and decided to go give it a go. Surprisingly, I have no digital stills of Victoria - so this one I found online and worked upon (Click on the original image). The rest are a motley collection of mediocre pictures I clicked in and around Cal. The text is bogus, so don't bother. Hehe. So, does it work for you?

I didn't want an extremely over processed look - but you know just enough for a touch of drama and warmth. Personally, I think the rickshaw picture turned out the best - and oh, I suddenly love photoshop all over again :)
This one (in Cherapunjee, Shillong) I did a little while back. The original is a little dark, and hardly represents the magic of the moment.
