I really like this. I used to say that one couldn't tell an 8x10 from a Minox on the web, but not anymore. This is sooo rich with detail. And the 'lines' of the composition are subtle and intersting. Well done!

Boy would I love to see this print! Outstanding composition.
Can I ask you which dilution you use Ansco 130 at? Your filtration is quite interesting too.

Well I guess I'm the lone wolf again. I believe there is a great shot in this photo but not everything in it as a whole. I find the bottom 1/3 just where the white lines come together is a starting point for the top. then the balance of the print down. I would have love to use my 8x20 and do this photo.

Superb image! I love the composition and excellent control of contrast

Michael, I would love to use your 8x20 to! I have composition problems all the time simply because I lack lenses. I only have the one unfortunately.

Thomas, I use the standard 1:1 dilution for ansco mostly. I've used it undiluted before, along with a water bath to fiddle with contrast with pretty good results actually. As for the filtration method I used; it's from a local asheville brewery who makes some really excellent scottish ale and mocha stouts.

Thanks for the reply. I normally use it 1:3 which gives me slightly warmer tones. I doubt it would last three months, though...
I'll bet your filters wear out pretty quickly, then? I find that I have to replenish my filters quite often, driving the cost of this hobby way up...

Yeah, I find the same thing actually. I seem to "misplace" my filters often, requiring a lot or re-purchasing!

I like the cold tone of ansco 1:1, I should try a higher dilution though, but never thought to do so..
