Experimenting with Nik filters.

I'm not a huge fan. It looks like a wildly overdone Instagram filter to me.

But that's personal preference. This is art, after all.

It's difficult for me to separate my opinion of the filter from my interest in the subject, but I think (perhaps) the filter is OK to me.

Lovely model and well composed, just not a style I gravitate towards.

Certainly makes it look like a very old photo. I wonder if the umbrella is for sun or rain.

Love the Nik collection. I still haven't fully explored everything it has to offer. In my exploration I've leaned toward the less is more theory. For example if your intent is to emulate an old photo, then think of how age would affect the whole image. You'd see fading overall, a dull slightly flat image. The sepia tone will turn darker with age. I'd also play with the grain sliders, and or explore the different film effects.
