Fix-it Friday with I ♥ Faces

Before

After

Here is my version of today's photo challenge.
For this I used Lightroom and Photoshop.
I started by converting a copy of the photo to black and white and another to sepia. Then I layered the original and my 2 copies and changed the opacity to my liking.
I increased the green tones and decreased the exposure slightly.
I was trying for an aged look....
I pictured this cutie walking the streets of old Italy wearing knickers and kicking a rock down the paved street on a slightly drizzling day....

    That's really neat! I'll have to try the 3 layers some time. I think it gives it a really cool look.
