Based on "Thinker" Photo manipulation, a PSD Vault tutorial.

Links to materials are provided. If you have a VIP membership you can download the tutorial writer's final psd. I would consider this an intermediate tutorial. It took some playing around to get the final image like I wanted it. I added text and grunge edges based on the tutorial "Photo Grunge Edges" at pshero.
