Nice soft light!
It's very fun that you got to make a Photogravure. I've lusted after a printing press and the right place to put one for many years.
So, you made the plate by a print direct to the polymer plate method, no physical digital "negative" required?
Good job.

Nice print!

Robert, thanks for the compliment. Yes, it was a direct-to-plate process. I just watched a video of Chuck Close making a copperplate photogravure and TBH it felt like cheating using the direct-to-plate method. But gosh the results are just spectacular.
