I went for an older look but I had to mess about with the "film curve" to preserve the
detail in the roof shingles, I guess it lies between Josteins version
(which looks like a very early pic and is a bit too saturated in the highlights
for me) and yours which looks like it's circa 50's?:
When I made my version, I had the mill's history in mind. It was built around 1900, iirc, and was in use until 1930. I don't know if it's entirely correct from a history POV to sepia-tone a pic from this era, but I suppose there's a certain chance that yellowing would occur if it was a print from that era...:-)
I know from my grandfather's photos from that age that even the 6x9 negs of Agfa film had visible grain. When I look through both my grandfathers' albums, I also frequently see very high-contrast prints.

I certainly see that it can be done better than my attempt. I think I liked Rob's better than Shel's for being closer to my idea about an old look, but it's a b/w newbie speaking here anyway...:-)
I should probably stick to colour, but it's an interesting excersise!
