Leica LTM Fake transfer

[EcoLeica]

Always want to get my fellow screw mount buddies opinion on some of my photos. This is my first attempt at a fake polaroid transfer (not usually a photoshop fan). Picture taken with Leica IIIc with 5cm summar. Im constructing a portfolio for my next university course so any constructive feedback will be greatly appreciated

I like it - very 1940's.

i'll be the first to ask, how did u do it? care to share the work flow. I'd love to see how it works out in print......esp on fiber paper..

 

[EcoLeica]

to be honest, i cant explain it but i have the link. I think this process works a hell of lot better with black and white pictures

Thanks for the comments!

From a purely critical angle, the text and choice of border let it down. More attention to that would make the text fit the background better, and maybe the same detail around the photo should be applied to the border. That'd make it look a lot better, but otherwise I like it

Thankyou...ill work on the title this afternoon. It isnt actually a boarder, if you look carefully, yoou can see that the grain of the canvas carries on into the photo, simulating a polariod transfer.

Nope, that definitely looks like a fat black border to me
