What do you think of this processing?

Please tell me what you think of this processing method. I have been researching and coming up with my own method to get that vintage faded, washed out look.

I'm not sure that style really fits the scene that's being depicted.

There seems to be a halo around her hair, too

I think if you want a vintage look with sports images you might have better luck going to straight B&W with some noise added to it. The faded washed out colors don't work.

Thanks both of you.

Yeah the vintage washed out look is something I have been trying to perfect. I am going to do a photo shoot with the kids and I want a different look then I have been doing with them each year. The sports picture was not the best subject to use I know.....I am just trying to get the processing down.

I also would like to do something similar with sports and Tony S thanks for your feedback I will try it out.
