Very nice Shawn. Great textures.

One of my favorites. Really good capture and print. Alot of depth in this one.
Cheers

Agree with others, this is one of your best, Shawn.

great texture and composition....also really relevant to see the change in the nature of the "scum" over the seasonal periods...

I almost want to view this as a constellation of stars. Nice 'grit' and texture. Pops on my screen, that's for sure. Awesome!

I like the texture and the contrast with the white leaves. Nice, very good.

This is dazzling, Shawn. You're building an interesting and varied portfolio on this theme. Looking forward to the day when I can see them all together.

All the best,
Daniel

Thanks everyone! This is one of my favorites and probably one of my best prints from a technical standpoint. The print has a richness to it you can't see here. When you get the right negative Kentona is incredibly impressive. Here's hoping Ilford decides to make a second grade now that they're running the show.

Thomas, you're on the same page as me! It really felt like picking out constellations on the ground glass and the leaves were surely blazing like stars! All the best. Shawn

You are going to have one hell of a portfolio. The pictures bridge the abstract with the literal are the most compelling for me. I was thinking about light pollution earlier today, and I wonder if people who have never looked up into the sky at 3AM in the middle-of-nowhere have any connection with this picture? My hope though, is that sights like these have a universal primordial resonance.
