I like this a lot !!

There seems to be a bit of grainyness that gives it an aged look. I don't know how else to describe it .... I just like it ...
 
gorgeous "first".
well actually gorgeous first or gorgeous thousandth.
imagine having someone like kerik to walk you through it made the learning curve about zero.
thanks for posting it.
 
Hmmm. I like the photograph. It's nostalgic in that it reminds me of a 1930s travel brochure. Pleasant, for sure.

I don't agree with the display though. I've started seeing these brushed or heavy borders as a kind of pretension. I know that in the case of alt process stuff like this, the border is a a product of the method. I just think it looks kind of outlandish as part of the display.
 
Thank you all for your comments.

Meltronic I still haven't decided if I like the edge effects or not. Sometimes I feel it's like an extravagant frame and detracts from the actual image, other times I feel it makes THAT image different from the next one made from the same neg. I have tried masking the brush strokes out, and I'm not totally happy with that. I think until I can decide I'll keep the brush strokes but matt up to the edge of the negative and cover all bases.

This image, as do many alt process images has a kind of 3D look to it that I believe is more common in larger formats. The thing about this image is that it is not only a perfectly done print but a wonderful subject perfectly captured as well. Very well done!!
