Re: How do I get this effect around the edges?

@HumblyLearning - Personally, I wouldn't make any changes that would "eat into" the base image. The main reason I say this is because the base image has detail right to the edges, and if you "eat into" this, that detail is obscured.  This image is quite different from the maple leaf image which has very little detail. It's essentially only a shape.  Rather, for this image, I would do things that would add on and frame the base image,  eg, layer effects on top of a grunge background that's brighter in the  center.

BTW, normally, I wouldn't work on a copyrighted image, but since the women's WC is history, the OP stated this is for personal use only, and the annotation clearly states, "For Photoshop educational use only", I didn't see any harm in showing one way one might set this image off on an interesting background.
