I’m not usually one for portraiture but this is a really well made piece. Thanks for posting it.

This is a lovely portrait, and made so by the expression on her face and her eye contact with the viewer. I'm curious, is the print actually this color, because it looks very neutral for a platinum print. And if I may ask, did you use palladium with the platinum? Is it pure platinum? Whatever, it's very well done.

Thank you. It's about 92% platinum, 8% palladium. Coupled with the developer, this gives a lovely charcoal black with warm highlights. If anything, the scanning has warmed the print. The midtones are a bit more silvery in the real world, although the highlights are about right.
