All four look really great,like the way the backgrounds are lighter tone separating them from the rich textured foregrounds. Reminds me of the turn of the century photographer Curtus . This one above has to much edge burning.Youv'e done a fine job taking and printing these gems Shaffer.
This was the only print I tried to do any dodging or burning on and I am rather ham-handed at it. I actually cropped a wee bit off the left, it was even worse. But I like the image and I think I was pretty successful burning in the sky. I'm gonna keep working at the burning & dodging. I'm really having a ball with the enlarger. I've been itching for months to do something more than just scanning my 645 negatives.
