It's a nice image, and I rather like the effect, but what is 'vintage' about it?

 

[DAKK]

I guess I didnt fade it out to much did I? I guess I had planned on that effect to do alot of the work. I mean I desaturated a tad and exposed it a bit more.

As I said, the result is a very pleasing image, I'm just unclear on what 'vintage' look you're trying to achieve. Are you going for the old, faded photograph look, or something different?

I'm not crazy about the middle of the flower, maybe a little too saturated for my taste. I like the crackle texture. I think to make it look more vintage, you could lower the saturation a lot to make it look more faded.

vintage comes more from tones then texture.

Ill re edit and post up a little later

I agree. It's an interesting texture but I don't get a "vintage" feel. I look forward to seeing your new edit.

I don't understand why you would want a vintage look for a macro shot of a single flower.

A non photographer could look at all of us and say why even take a picture. And the same answer applies for both. For fun of course

i would try a sepia or a dirty BW
remember there are that color is a relatively newer thing in photos. when you say vintage are you referring to 20's 30's 60's 70's

Closer to the 60s and 70s
