It was a crummy lens? What I was actually saying was that the picture looked too sharp to be old and that a crummy lens would have aged it more. Your crummy lens was actually pretty darned good! LOL! ~ Lonnit

That is very true. There was a delay in the delivery of my 20D and I finally got it only one day before my trip to Greece but only the body without the lenses. The only lens I had on that trip was an old and crappy EF35-105mm I managed to borrow from a friend.
Anyway, I guess this lens adds even more to the "old" look of the photo LOL.

Yes, the sepia fits better, but you should have shot it with a crappy lens! LOL! ;) ~ Lonnit

Thanks Lonnit, I had another go with PS and gave it a more "oldish" look. I must admit that it looks better that way.

Very flavorful shot. I think it's too modern/crisp/clean for the subjects though. I'm wanting the photo to look as old as their style of dress. I'd rather see it grainier and more aged looking. I also would like a slightly shallower DOF, but if it were distressed a bit in PS to age it I wouldn't really be noticing the DOF. It's a good composition and everything else. ~ Lonnit
