  4. Om,
    Here's my critique only 'coz you asked for it. :-)

    It's hard to tell from the small size of the photograph but there seems to be a considerable amount of sharpening artifacts in the picture.

    Here's what i would do.

    1) If the photo has been shot @ high ISO, i'd add more noise to make it look grainy and give it the vintage sepia finish.

    2) If your noise is under control, I would do a high key processing and overlay it over the original BnW. It generally gives good contrast with localized sharpening.

    Good luck.
