Great photograph. Really lively.

A white sky is ideal here to make the balloons stand out. To get the same impact as you would in colour is difficult but this achieves it. The darkness in the top left spreads to the whole of the top but diminishes as it goes right.

Could it be connected to the sepia toner? I have no idea but it might be worth doing another print in sepia to see if this works.

It is a good enough print to make a second try worthwhile

Thanks for the feedback.
I was hoping it could be the sepia toner, maybe uneven agitation or something?
I will definitely try to make another print and be more aware of it...

And thanks for the kind words to you all.
The image is from a celebration of the 200th anniversary of the first balloonist in Denmark!
So a whole bunch of them took of at the same time! A sight to behold! :smile:
