The second picture is very good, looks almost like the real thing!. From a photography point of view, the first one has the focus wrong, and looks odd. If you want to replicate an old, faded photo you should take a good, sharp picture and then alter it on your computer to look old. Also, old B/W pic's tend to turn sepia over time, try that aswel. The second pic has also could the grainy look quite right.
Apart from that the Elephant looks very good, how about some (SHARP ) color pics?? :-)
