Great capture and processing to give it the right age. Interesting that swastika; it must have been some instruction plane then?

@chard - LOL... that really made me chuckle. Nice comment.
October 10th, 2012  
@louhi - yes, slightly textured in processing to bring out the sepia. Sepia is very flat if left as a solid colour. In photoshop I added a canvas texture then blurred it in most places so it lost its regular look. That gave the sky enough feel to be seen and made the picture less blocky.

In processing I prefer the light touch. I think the eye sees more than we can interpret. So you don't have to overstate something for it to have an impact. In fact I feel a blog post coming on about that! LOL.
October 10th, 2012  
this is a wicked capture! and your processing is PERFECT for the subject!!! awesome job!
