The PP is magnificent. I like the outcome. Monochrome is perfect for the image. Do you mind telling how'd you do this?

@mats: Thanx for the visit and comment Mats...
This image is made up of three layers..girl with camera/girl walking/and a cream colour layer...
Girl walking was the background,I added the girl with camera layer and used the eraser tool to remove,and reveal the bottom,layer...I cut and pasted the head to make the camera display..
The hardest part was her foot,as I had to make it up,there wasn't a foot in the original..
I finished off by darkening the grass to make a sort of shadow..I removed the colours to greyscale,and blended in the cream layer to give it that old photo finish..flattened the image,and there's the result...
Cheers..Billy...

A masterpiece! I remember your previous 3-14-09 posting you did of a double Saffron. Amazing work. This time I thought Billy is really pulling a good one on us and has twins. It is that good, you really had me fooled.
And that is not easy to do. Great work, Billy.
