Ok....this is totally out of context for me....I dont claim to be a B&W pro, but somthing motivated me to go old school with this and treat it more like an 1800's photo that was in the bottom of a box somwhere...that you found and scanned.

Not even sure I could replicate for you what I just did for this....lol. Just took that "sneezy stuffy headed why have I woken up on my living room floor???" medicine so I am in kind of a blurr.
