Here's mine.

Looking at this scene, I was thinking vintage, old, and faded, like a picture you'd find in a drawer of a dresser you bought at a yard sale. I started with a Lightroom sepia preset, then worked things from there.



The exposure/recovery/contrast combo was there to add a bit of punch. The grain and vignette I think give more of an old film look. The clarity drop plus the vignette adds to the faded edge effect I wanted.

The temptation was high to stay color. Once I went BW I was there to stay.



Desaturated in PS and used Lucis to make the texture pop

This was fun thanks for posting this!



I tone mapped it with HDR Efex Pro then brought it into Lightroom to give it a tilt-shift effect using the Gradation Filter tool.
