I, Machine

Very handsome, Raphael. I'm not smart about toning, but it has a toned look to it - that adds to the feel of antiquity.

Nice print, with their two little arms and robot hands looks like they are ready to take on the world.

Everything said, the tones, the machine looks alive, still! Very nice subject, papermaking, by someone who makes great prints.

Many thanks to all, for looking and kind comments.

I should precise a few points about the tones : this is not a toned print.

The paper/developer combo I use (Adox/Variospeed W) gives me prints with very warm tones, almost sepia, and I would for the first time use a color scan for the print, rather simple grey levels. I tried to be the most faithful to the prints tone, and on my desktop screen, it was looking right.

I discovered that the results, displayed on my laptop screen, has a slight strange "greenish" cast that I didn't expected, so I will probably have to redux my scan.

Raphael, thank you for the detail on the paper. You use it to very good effect.
