i messed with it a bit... darkened/hightened contrast, moved text over, multiplied the text layer, since i didn't feel like writing it all out... on the cement layer i used selective (lasso) brighten, further erasing back (backgd set to white) areas where text met dark spots... don't know... but here it is... could use a bit more blending tween light/dark area at the top right of the tree... i've got to go to bed... :] *clunk* zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
