Hobbes with effects

Today I'm practicing some techniques I've been learning in my Digital Lightroom class.  I took a simple photo of Hobbes, converted it to B&W and then used a duo-tone method with a clear light blue and black to replicate an old cyanotype photo.  I added a blue, black and gray Polaroid border to complement the tone and layered a background texture I made a couple of weeks ago of stone to give the photo grain.  It's an okay image, but the main purpose is learning how to use these techniques.  I'm really enjoying this class.  Last night we learned to print on art paper and the results are quite beautiful.
