Marianne: I think this composition has a very Zenlike thing going on. It looks like it needs a little more exposure near the bottom of the calligraphy piece, or maybe that is just the scan. I like it.

dan, thanks for the comments.
i am going to try both of these again when my fomabrom IV 123 paper arrives.
this was in the arista developer for 25 minutes. the print is just plain bad and i think
you are right that black along the bottom, just above the wood frame needs more exposure.
if i get anything good next time, i will post it.
