Once again my young friend has commandeered my camera for a short time and captured some note worthy images ... So I'll give credit where it's due.

Photo by Hillary ( she's wearing those boots ). She can be seen here http://fredbarr.aminus3.com/image/2007-01-30.html

Well, here I go again. It's 1940s! It's Henry Fonda's boots in The Grapes of Wrath! This is great tonal control.

@Sidonie: Great reference ! And thanks.
I possessed using more then one layer this time, adding a little texture. I think I'm getting closer to the effect I'm after .

The photographer finily got to see the comments today and Hillary was a touch upset with me... You spelled my name Wrong ! was the shout . I only counter I could come up with was : Well, how do you spell my middle name ? Knowing full well she didn't remember what it was . ( Ya can't spell what ya don't know haha )
