What's the formula for D-158? It's an auto-toning developer, I'm guessing?

I like this photograph very much! Would like to hear a bit more of it's story. Tone is very much to my likeing as is the print dinsity.

Thanks for your remarks and interest. D158 is a standard MQ developer. I use it because I'm a cheapskate! Metol 3.2 g Sod. Sul. 5.0 g Hydroquinone 13.3 g Sod. Carb. 69.0 g Pot. Bromide .9 g. Water to make 1 liter. The toner is a two solution thiourea sepia toner. The choice of paper is very important. I would highly recommend "Creative Elements" by Eddie Ephraums. Feel free to contact me if you need more delails.

Nice tones, Don! I like how unique the photograph feels, in having a reach-out-and-touch quality. It's more like a painting than a photograph, in the very best sense of it.
