Very well seen! Seems to be an excellent image for the process (or a very good process for the image).
 
Thanks, Vaughn! I'm really starting to like the combination of infrared landscapes and cyanotypes. The IR images just seem to have the right contrast and moodiness for the process.
 
Very nice image & good use of appropriate process. However, I question the brush stroke usage. I may be in a minority, but I've started using a mat cutout somewhat larger than negative. Place the mat on paper & do brushing with sensitizer within confines of mat. Then remove mat & touch up edges with brush. The edges are still more handmade than using masking tape, but seem to have a cleaner appearance. Just my view.
 
Thanks for the ideas, Doug.

For my 4x5 negatives I'm a bit more concentrated on the brushstrokes because it adds an interesting framing to an otherwise small image. I also hope (in an abstract way) to have the brushstrokes complement the subject matter. Once I get to doing more 8x10 cyanotypes I'll probably have more subtle borders.
