Default Does this work?

Being inspired by the texture thread, I finally utilized the tutorial that Saralonde referenced. Does this work for this picture?
Here's the original...

And here's the processed photo...

I think it the texture along with the crop adds to the "vintage-ness" of the truck and puts more focus on the girl. I think was applied quite well and perfect texture to use.

Thank you all. It is truly inspiring and I will make attempts on other photos too and hopefully get a little more creative with it like xxpinballxx.

Look in thread that I linked to in the 1st post. Saralonde placed a link to it, it's a tutorial on flickr. I subscribed to that thread so when I was ready, I could easily get back to it.
