Very nice, the color balance looks great ( unlike mine)...

Thanks! I was quite pleased with the cyanotype, instead of blue gum layer. The image is smoother, and better defined.

"Used my phone to take photo of print..." Phew. That explains the thumb in the lower left of the image.

Wow, I really like how this came out!

I attended a workshop with Diana Bloomfield on gum printing - learned a lot, the first time through we used blue gum, but she told us she almost always uses cyano as the blue layer - produces more detail and definition in the final print. Subsequently in the workshop everyone used cyano and had good results ( well mine were just so-so) - I am still pretty much in the learning stage so anything that helps is welcome.
