I like that effect, Dales. It looks rather like a vintage postcard. The texture works very well with the photo and the crop is right. I would like to see the ocean in the background closer to the original blue/green rather than mauve. Is the horizon off or is that just me?

Thanks for the input Julie. Made some changes. Still not happy w/this.

It does look like a vintage photo. I like the effect a lot. Though the water for some reason doesn't look like it fits in the overall photo.
