Now that it is uploaded, it look too dark - is softer and not such a dark colour.

Terrific. I have a packet in the cabinet of chems for salt prints and I'm getting awfully tempted by these photos to open it up...

Very nice salt print. Did you tone it to get that color?

Thanks for your comment - I am still in the early throws of learning all about it myself but if you are wanting to start doing salts go to Wynn White's Favourite recipe, its a very good starting point. (Thanks Wynn)

The colour of the print is not far from the actual print although a little too dark and in fact the lighter tones have a sort of pinkish colour to them. But to answer your question - no toning, its as it turns out.
