Hey Max, thanks. I agree it looks green. On some computers... I've checked on three different ones, and when I make it look right on my Mac, it looks like shit on the PCs. Even though I'm in sRGB color space. I hate scanning these toned prints; they always turn out wrong. LOL
My project with digital camera and copy stand will have to wait another year, until I've saved up for a digital camera. I need one anyway.
 
This looks great on my Mac iBook. I'll admit that when I first saw the image, I thought it was from a medium or large format camera. And I'm interested to see that it was developed in Edwal 12, a glycin developer that I've used and liked. Really nice.
 

Thanks! I appreciate it. The idea with Edwal 12 is to help out with flat lighting. Great for portraits too. I was trying to make general use of it, and had a good time with it.
I recently read an article written by Lars Kjellberg regarding resolution of the 35mm format. Results indicated (using Hasselblad's test facilities) that a 35mm TMax 100 negative has the same resolution in a same sized print as a 6x6 negative or even 4x5; mostly due to limitations in the lenses themselves. Even so, the 35mm negative actually had BETTER resolution than a 4x5 Tri-X negative.
This cemented my thoughts of what's possible with 35mm and today's fine grained films. Something like Edwal 12 and its resulting extremely fine grain really helps here. But you need an enlarger that can unlock all of this potential.

Boy Thomas this almost looks like a train set toy,,, Nice print!
 

I hear you my friend. Took me over an hour to correct three prints tonight and still not 100% right. They even look different on different browsers. Go figure. Either way, this is a great image and a great print!
 
Thats amazingly sharp and a wonderful image
 
Love the robustness of the light house combined with the picturesque small building and weathered stone and paint work
