Classic! Yes, I'll bet the white face was a challange, but you were up to it.

Good to be back on the horse, eh? Very nice, Robert. Maybe just a tad less exposure, but I'm being picky.

Lovely tones, especially the costume works out very nice in wet plate, but I do think like you suggest, that the face might have a bit more "form", but as you say, a white powdered face is probably a challenge for this process.

I like how the light tones in contrast to the inky black of the hair. The tonalities on the umbrellas are to die for.
What a beautiful image.

Beautiful wet-plate. She did great for an 8 sec. exposure.

Thank you, you are all to kind. As I said, I hadn't been behind the ground glass in 6 months due to health issues, so this was the best elixir I could have possibly gotten. The first plates of the session were horrendous and the rust truly showed. Kerik, I agree. I tried shooting this at 6 sec. but I was loosing detail in the shadows and the white powdered face was getting that gray cast. So I would guess 7 sec. would have been perfect. But with that said, I'm just pleased to be back in my element. Robert
