Here is a digital picture I manipulated using Photoshop. The original picture was in color, but I made mine look old and worn by "antiquing" it. I blurred it, used the gradient tool, changed the hue to make it look sepia and put another Gaussian blur layer over it. I also decreased the opacity and added a few "scratch" marks on top. It doesn't sound like much, but since I have never used Photoshop before, this took me quite a while to do.
I found the original picture on pics4learning.com, and I chose a chicken because I used to live on a farm with chickens who became like pets. I had two of the kind pictured here- appropriately called Silkies, since their feathers are so soft and "silky".

Thanks for including this interesting description of the process you went through to create this effect. Glad to see you have already made use of pics4learning! I hope you will continue to feel more comfortable with Photoshop.
